Pipesim network simulation / optimization
Advanced network simulation to analyze and optimize complex production and injection networks
Simulate complex production networks with confidence using the Pipesim simulator
The Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator offers complex production and injection networks analysis. The well, pipeline, and flow assurance capabilities are all within a shared common environment, powered by the most rigorous fieldwide solver. The solver is suitable for networks of any size and topology, including complex loop structures and crossovers. By modeling the entire production or injection system as a network, the interdependency of wells and surface equipment can be accounted for, and the deliverability of the system can be determined.
Pipesim network optimizer
Create scenarios to optimize your performance by maximizing production while reducing costs, honoring facility constraints, maintaining asset integrity, and increasing reservoir recovery. See video below.
Solve real –world production challenges with intelligent network optimization
Pipesim network simulation and optimization capabilities enable you to:
- Engineer the best well, pipeline, and facilities design.
- Identify production bottlenecks and constraints.
- Optimize production from complex networks.
- Handle multiple system constraints.
- Quickly identify locations in the system most prone to flow assurance issues such as erosion, corrosion, and hydrate formation.
- Quantify the benefits of adding new wells, compression, pipelines, etc.
- Determine optimal locations for pumps and compressors.
- Design and operate water or gas injection networks.
- Analyze hundreds of variables such as pressure, temperature, and flow assurance parameters through complex flow paths.
- Evaluate benefits of loops and crossovers to reduce backpressure.
- Calculate full-field deliverability to ensure contractual delivery rates can be met.
- Optimize the allocation of lift gas amongst wells.
Accelerate simulation accuracy with advanced modeling and GIS integration
Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator incorporates the three core areas of flow modeling: multiphase flow, heat transfer, and fluid behavior. For 40 years, the Pipesim simulator has been continuously improved by incorporating the latest science and innovations in computing and technologies.
Pipesim simulator includes advanced three-phase mechanistic models, rigorous heat transfer modeling, and comprehensive PVT modeling options. The ESRI-supported GIS map canvas helps deliver true spatial representation of wells, equipment, and networks. Networks can be built either on the GIS canvas or automatically using a GIS shapefile. Well model construction and analysis are performed using an interactive graphical wellbore. The implementation of the parallel network solver, which spreads the computational load across all processors, delivers faster simulation runtime.
