The first use of pigs were in the late 1800S this is where they most likely got thier name. They used barbed wire and straw in a ball shape, the noise they made going down the pipeline sounded like the squeel of a pig, Hence the name.
Since then Technology has come a long way, The pigs have...

i guess what im trying to say is i want bypass of flow on my pig so it will hold wax in suspension as it moves down the line such as a 1 inch bypass port in the pig, im not sure how to size the bypass ports as i dont want the pig stalling in the line.I thought there might be a formula to use...
I need a formula to help me disign the proper bypass on a pig i know how much gas,oil and water go into the line, what happens is when i send the pig the plant gets hit hard and we usually cause a upset is there any way to design this so this does not happen and i do not have to shut in...
I need some one to help me here. I have a 6 inch line it takes approx 34 bbl per 1000 feet to displace it. The temp of the line is about 10C I am pumping oil down it for 1500 meteres at 70C how long will it take for the oil to reach the pipe line temp if i am pumping at a rate of 3 bbls per...
Can anyone tell me what flow would be like in a pipeline.
Say the well flowsa at 5000 kpa makes 80 m3 of water 20 m3 of oil and 40,ooo km3 of gas at a temp of 20 degrees c.
What is the best way to avoid corrosion in a Pipeline that contains H2s around 60,000 ppm , sour water,sour gas,,high temps around 40 c and higher,with high pressures 300 to 1500 psi. Batch program or continous?No Co2 so to mention.
I have a 4 inch cup pid behind it I have 7500 kpa.In front of it I have 2500 kpa. when i start the well up it takes some time before the pressure on the 2500 kpa side reaches 6500 kpa so you still have a diffrental of 1000 which pushes the pig but until that happens I would think the pig is...
