| Summary: | Oil/water mixture production in the wells is a common phenomenon. It is of high
interest to the oil industry to process the oil/water separation in the downhole, by
hydrocyclone technology. Oil and water separation methods have focused on the
separation process and the hydro fluid behavior within the separator body while there
is a lack of studies and simulations on the wellbore flow behavior before and after the
separation. Accordingly, this work is directed to investigate the mixture flow structure
in the production and in the water dumping zones. |
