控压钻井 (MPD) 已成为深水环境中的关键工具。准确测量从井中返回的钻井液流量对于 MPD 作业至关重要。 Blade Energy Partners 项目经理 Nitin Kulkarni 表示，科里奥利质量流量计因其高精度而常用于 MPD 操作，但其在两相流存在下的性能可能会导致精度问题。在接受DC采访时，Kulkarni 先生谈到了这些挑战，以及避免或减轻科里奥利质量流量计在两相流中可能出现的错误的最佳实践。 4 月 17 日，他在休斯敦举行的 2024 年 AADE 流体技术会议上展示了他与他人共同撰写的关于该主题的论文。

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has emerged as a critical tool in deepwater environments. The accurate measurement of the flow rate of the drilling fluid returning from the well is critical to MPD operations. Coriolis mass flowmeters are commonly used in MPD operations because of their high accuracy, but their performance in the presence of two-phase flow can cause problems with that accuracy, said Nitin Kulkarni, Project Manager at Blade Energy Partners. In this interview with DC, Mr Kulkarni talks about these challenges, as well as the best practices to avoid or mitigate possible errors from Coriolis mass flowmeters in two-phase flow. He presented a paper he co-authored on the subject at the 2024 AADE Fluids Technology Conference in Houston on 17 April.
