To achieve a steady state operating condition, it is best to allow the system to operate for about 10 to 15 minutes after a startup or after a defrost cycle. This allows any flow control device, such ...

The entire system includes topsides ... and only at the riser base for late-life production. During early steady-state flow, fluids lose heat from bottom hole through topsides.

China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) made an important advance by achieving a stable 101.2-second steady-state high confinement plasma, setting a world record in long-pulse ...
