Application of multiphase pumps in a remote Abu Dhabi oilfield
A multiphase pump was commissioned recently in a satellite oil field onshore Abu Dhabi. The pump is used to boost the flow from a well in a remote desert location to a crude-oil gathering I center 16 miles away. The full-length paper describes the multiphase-pump installations and the unique features of these facilities. Pump specifications and key design considerations are discussed.
