Abstract
Operational problems are hard to overcome because of the temperature and pressure conditions of the hydrocarbon flow in the pipe, as well as the composition of the hydrocarbon system and the geometry of the pipeline. It is known that energy costs to pump a unit mass of RH in the form of gas 2-3 times exceed energy costs to pump a unit mass of RH in the form of liquid. As far as energy conservation during RH transportation is concerned, an important task is development and application of a method to calculate the gas-liquid hydrocarbons flow, and heat and mass transfer in process and trunk pipelines during their design and operation. The authors have developed a calculation method which is used to analyze the hydrodynamic state and composition of the hydrocarbon mixture in each ith section of the pipeline when temperature-pressure and hydraulic conditions change. The developed technique was tested on the hydrocarbon mixture of de-ethanized condensate and oil transported from northern oil and gas condensate fields via the main gas condensate line to the refinery.
