flotech

flotech

This is a test release, beta.Please use with caution.Some correlations might not give the best results.This package should be used as is.

Multiphase Flow Correlation Library

A Python library implementing various multiphase flow correlations for oil and gas production systems, including fluid property calculations and pressure gradient predictions.

Features

• Multiple Correlation Models:
  • Mukherjee and Brill (1985)
  • Ansari et al. (1994)
  • Aziz and Govier (1972)
  • Hydro Model
  • Gray
  • Fancher and Brown
  • Duns and Ross
  • Stanford Correlation
  • Plus Some more
• Fluid Property Calculations:
  • Oil, water, and gas properties
  • PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) relationships
• IPR Calculations:
  • Vogel's Inflow Performance Relationship
  • Darcy's equation

Installation

You can install flotech via pip:

Installation
