Oil Sludge Deposition in Storage Tanks: A Case Study for Russian Crude Oil in Mo-he Station
The oil tank can form a considerable amount of sludge deposition after continuous accumulation, which cause a seriously negative impact on both the storage capacity and the safe operation of the oil tank. Therefore, it is important to anticipate the rate of sludge deposition in advance so that proper measures can be planned to remove this heavy layer on the bottom. This paper proposes a method using a relatively simple formula for predicting the sludge deposits. The sedimentation mechanism of wax and asphaltene is introduced and summarized from both the micro and macro aspects, the factors causing the interaction between particles and the influence on coalescence were analyzed. We applied our prediction methods to calculate the sludge deposition of four oil tanks in Mo-he Station and compared our results with the data measured by experiments. The results show that our method had a good general accuracy to experimental data and can be used directly for on-site engineers to anticipate real sludge height before measuring the oil level inside the tank.

Effects of Fluid Viscosity and Two-Phase Flow on Performance of ESP
Electric submersible pumps (ESPs) are widely used in the oil and gas industry for crude-oil lifting, especially in subsea oil fields or underground storage caverns. The failure of ESPs causes a large economic cost mainly attributed to a break in production continuity, as the ESP cannot be easily replaced. Therefore, the assurance of safe and efficient operation of ESPs has attracted high attention in recent years, although the problem still remains challenging given the complexity of carrying fluid and the mechanical structure of the ESP. In this article, we systematically review both the high-impact, classic contributions and the most up-to-date, current opinions in experimental and numerical advances of viscous effects and two-phase flow in ESPs. We specifically focus on the applications in the oil and gas industry and point out a few current challenges in the operation of ESPs. We aim to guide the audience which is new to the area of ESPs to the correct articles related to their interests, including classic work and recent advances.
