production tubing assuming West Texas Crude and water
production rates of 500 and 5000 STB/Day. Is the flow in
each case laminar or turbulent?
1 barrel = 42 gallons
Be sure to convert units where necessary!!!

Re – Reynolds Number (Transition: Re ~ 2300)
v - Velocity
p- Density

Reynolds number is used to determine the characteristics of
fluid flow in a pipe. Re < 2300 the flow is laminar and for Re >
2300 the flow is turbulent.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb9d27ef5-e6c1-4cc6-9ca2-ef3a6152b7a2%2F44fcca29-a3cb-4d20-8a99-f5e6523db404%2Fxl9fpm_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
