Three-phase oil-water-gas flow experiments have been conducted in a horizontally configured rig made of carbon steel pipe with an ID of 0.041 m and a total length of 24.3 m. The test fluids were Malaysian waxy crude oil from Malay basin and three concentrations of simulated formation water salinity,...
