Routine pigging should be done in pipelines that have been detected to experience sand
settling. Some pipelines which have low fluid mixture velocity (6” BJ-BB, 8” BK-BP1, and 12”
BB-BP1) should be placed at top priority.
Because sand settling phenomena strongly depends on the present data of fluid volumetric
rate in pipelines, this analysis is recommended to be routinely updated.
use OLGA instead of Beggs & Brill and experimental correlation in application to determine
multiphase flow properties, especially flow regime and dynamic behavior of each parameter
included.
do further study and analysis about this topic, especially about the other parameters
correlation that affecting sand behavior (e.g. pipe geometry and fluid properties).
use real model of Bekapai pipelines and fluid in order to be applied in the future.
