Wellstream Technology
Our research enables cost effective and safe transportation of unprocessed production fluids in wells and long distance flowlines. R&D areas cover multiphase flow and cold flow technology including hydrates, scale formation and solids transportation.
Services

The main asset of the department is one of the world’s largest and most advanced laboratory facilities for multiphase flow research.

  • Laboratory facilities for multiphase flows, including hydrates and sand
  • Multiphase flow experiments
  • Hydrate experiments
  • Flow wheel tests
  • Multiphase flow simulations (OLGA)
  • Multiphase transport system analysis
  • Instrument and equipment testing
  • SIMlab II

This project offers European Scientists the possibility to access our laboratory in Trondheim.

Project References

The department has been involved in several large multiphase research programs since its establishment in 1982. The multiphase flow simulator OLGA has been developed based on large-scale two-phase flow experiments at SINTEF.

  • Two-phase large-scale flow
  • Three-phase flow
  • Sand transport
  • Hydrates
  • LEDA
  • Cold Flow
  • STRONG
  • Transient Multiphase Flow
  • K-sep (proposal)
