Drag Reduction Theory and Technology

Page 9: PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY CASE STUDY: FLOW … TECHNOLOGY CASE STUDY: FLOW IMPROVERS PROVIDE IMMEDIATE INCREASE TO PIPELINE TAKEAWAY CAPACITY . Restricted Confidential 2 2 OUTLINE • Company

Restricted Confidential 9 9

Drag Reduction occurs due to suppression of energy dissipation by turbulent eddy currents near the pipe wall during turbulent flow

 

Laminar Sublayer

Buffer Region

Turbulent Core

DRAG REDUCTION THEORY

Drag: Frictional losses of a fluid flowing in a pipeline

WHAT ARE DRAG REDUCING AGENTS (DRA)?

DRAs… •  are ultra-high molecular weight polymers •  are not viscosity modifiers •  do not change density of fluids •  do not coat pipeline walls •  change the turbulent flow •  are susceptible to shear points •  will shear degrade … also known as Flow Improvers

Turbulent flow is required for drag reduction

•  Typical injection rates for Bakken light crude: <20-30 PPM •  At 20 PPM, performance is up to 60% DR •  If the frictional pressure is 1000 psi, then the frictional pressure with DRA is

400 psi at the same pipeline flow rate
