Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...
A new empirical correlation can help engineers size chokes for controlling gas-condensate production and predicting the performance of flowing wells under different conditions. The correlation was ...
Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...
