A prediction model of critical liquid-carrying velocity of gas well considering the mechanism of liquid film shear and droplet entrainment

Extensive field data indicates that the dominant flow pattern in gas wells is typically annular mist flow, with the liquid phase predominantly existing as liquid film and liquid droplets in water-producing gas wells. In actual water-producing gas wells, the liquid phase exists simultaneously in the...
