Some issues of combined transportation of oil and water via subsea pipelines
G. G. IsmailovThe issues about the calculation of subsea pipelines have been looked through in the systems of combined collection and transportation of oil and water. Principal calculation charts of pipelines which pump two-phased emulsions have been explored for pressure loss, capacity of turning on and estimation of required diameters. The consequences of the analysis indicate that the change of correlation of pressure loss expended on pumping of oil and water blend to pressure loss in pumping refined oil depending on water content is very complicated. It is defined that hydrotransport of oil improves when the water content in oil is 3035 per cent. In this case oil-water blend is transported at less energy costs than none-watered oil.
