PIPESIM

PIPESIM software is a steady-state, multiphase flow simulator for the design and diagnostic analysis of oil and gas production systems. PIPESIM software tools model multiphase flow from the reservoir to the wellhead. PIPESIM software also analyzes flowline and surface facility performance to generate comprehensive production system analysis.

With advanced modeling algorithms for nodal analysis, PVT analysis, gas lift, and erosion and corrosion modeling, PIPESIM software helps you optimize your production and injection operations.

PIPESIM Gas Lift Optimization Module 

The PIPESIM optimization simulator provides fieldwide solutions using an algorithm to identify the best distribution of gas lift injection gas throughout your production system. Complex constraints such as water and gas handling capacity can be included in the model at any point. The optimization solver is designed to be used in daily operations and can allocate artificial lift within large fields in just a few seconds.

Your system model can be integrated with production databases and SCADA systems for real-time production optimization using the latest data delivered through ProdMan real-time well and facilities diagnostic system.

Benefits 

• Maximize production from limited available lift gas. 
• Increase gas sales by identifying system gas lift needs. 
• PIPESIM Network Analysis Module 

For a comprehensive system analysis, PIPESIM software can be upgraded to model complex networks that may include loops, parallel lines, and crossovers. The robust solution algorithm can model gathering, distribution, and injection networks.

It gives you the detailed understanding of the system thermo-hydraulics that is critical to flowline design and flow assurance issues, particularly for complex multiphase systems.

Benefits

• Identifies production bottlenecks and constraints 
• Assesses the benefits of new wells, additional pipelines, compression, etc. 
• Calculates the deliverability from field gathering systems 
• Predicts pressure and temperature profiles through complex flow paths 
• Facilitates field development planning 
• Solves downhole networks encountered in multilateral wells
