AbstractTwo-phase flow rate estimation of liquid and gas flow through wellhead chokes is essential for determining and monitoring production performance from oil and gas reservoirs at specific well locations. Liquid flow rate (QL) tends to be nonlinearly related to these influencing variables, making empirical correlations unreliable for predictions applied to different reservoir conditions and favoring machine learning (ML) algorithms for that purpose. Recent advances in deep learning (DL) algorithms make them useful for predicting wellhead choke flow rates for large field datasets and suitable for wider application once trained. DL has not previously been applied to predict QL from a large oil field. In this study, 7245 multi-well data records from Sorush oil field are used to compare the QL prediction performance of traditional empirical, ML and DL algorithms based on four influencing variables: choke size (D64), wellhead pressure (Pwh), oil specific gravity (γo) and gas–liquid ratio (GLR). The prevailing flow regime for the wells evaluated is critical flow. The DL algorithm substantially outperforms the other algorithms considered in terms of QL prediction accuracy. The DL algorithm predicts QL for the testing subset with a root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of 196 STB/day and coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9969 for Sorush dataset. The QL prediction accuracy of the models evaluated for this dataset can be arranged in the descending order: DL > DT > RF > ANN > SVR > Pilehvari > Baxendell > Ros > Glbert > Achong. Analysis reveals that input variable GLR has the greatest, whereas input variable D64 has the least relative influence on dependent variable QL.

Abstract Nitrous oxide is a suitable propellant for rocket engines and has been widely used in various countries, given its high saturated vapor pressure, which enables self-pressurization. Because nitrous oxide is in a state of vapor–liquid equilibrium in tanks, it is easy to form a gas–liquid two-phase flow by cavitation in feed line. Since accurately estimating the performance of rocket engines requires evaluating the characteristics of propellant flows, tests reported in this paper were conducted using hybrid rocket engines under three conditions: cold flow test, hot firing test at low back pressure, and hot firing test at high back pressure. With consideration to the subcooling degrees, nitrous oxide may be in an unsteady superheated state in the upstream flow of the injector. In a comparison of the pressure ratios between the injector in each test condition, it is observed that a critical two-phase flow was formed in the injector in the cold flow test and in the low backpressure firing test. In the high backpressure hot firing test, the injector flow may be choked, but the large oscillations were observed in chamber pressure and thrust. According to the FFT analysis results, these oscillations were caused by chugging and acoustic oscillation. In light of these experimental results, it is suggested that when the chamber pressure fluctuates due to combustion instability such as chugging and acoustic oscillation, it may affect the injector flow characteristics and the critical two-phase flow.
