Multiphase Correlation Comparison


Description

Compare pressure drop predictions from all ten industry-standard multiphase flow correlations. Understanding correlation differences helps engineers select the most appropriate method for specific well conditions.

Correlations:

  • Beggs & Brill (1973): General-purpose, any inclination, most widely used
  • Gray (1974): Best for gas wells with liquid loading
  • Hagedorn & Brown (1965): Near-vertical oil wells, industry standard
  • Ansari (1994): Mechanistic TUFFP model, vertical wells
  • Hasan-Kabir (1988): Mechanistic, deviated wells and annular geometry
  • Mukherjee-Brill (1985): Improvement over Beggs-Brill for inclined wells
  • Orkiszewski (1967): Composite vertical well correlation
  • Duns & Ros (1963): High GOR gas wells
  • Aziz (1972): Drift-flux model for vertical wells
  • Poettmann-Carpenter (1952): Historical no-slip method, high-rate dispersed flow
