Model-based control of slugging: advances and challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent advances in the suppression of the slugging phenomenon by model-based control. We focus on three aspects of recent contributions: models, observers and control laws. For each category, we evaluate and compare existing solutions, and propose directions for improvement.

Simplified Dynamical Models for Control of Severe Slugging in Multiphase Risers
In order to prevent the severe slugging flow regime in multiphase transport pipelines, active feedback control is the recommended solution. Instead of elaborated models such as CFD and OLGA models, a simple dynamical model with few state variables is required in a model-based control system. We propose a new simplified dynamical model for severe slugging flow in pipeline-riser systems. The prop...
متن کاملReview of Slug Detection, Modeling and Control Techniques for Offshore Oil & Gas Production Processes
The current offshore oil & gas multi-phase production and transportation installations have big challenges related with the slugging flow: An unstable multi-phase flow regime where the flow rates, pressures and temperatures oscillate in the considered processes. Slug can be caused by different operating conditions and installation structures. The most severe slugs are often induced in long vert...
متن کاملSimplified dynamic models for control of riser slugging in offshore oil production
Elaborated models such as those used for simulation purposes (e.g. OLGA simulator) cannot be used for model-based control design. The focus of this paper is on deriving simple dynamical models with few state variables that capture the essential behaviour for control. We propose a new simplified dynamic model for severe slugging flow in pipeline-riser systems. The proposed model, together with f...
متن کاملModeling and Control Solutions for Riser Slugging in Offshore Oil Fields
A highly transient flow regime called riser slugging can develop in pipelines from wellheads to separation tanks which introduces severe oscillations of pressure and flow rates in off-shore processes. Mitigation of the intensity of riser slugging may be achieved via anticipative control actions on valves positioned at the entrance and at gas/oil exits of the separators. In Phase 1, this work is...
متن کاملA model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services
Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...
