PIPESIM Flow AssurancePIPESIM software offers the industrys most comprehensive steady-state flow assurance workflows, both for front-end system design and production operations. Heat transfer models supported by the PIPESIM application include a flow regime-dependent inside film coefficient model and an analytical heat transfer model for convection in buried and partially buried pipes that has been shown to match complex finite-element numerical methods to within 2% accuracy. Multiphase flow models supported by PIPESIM software include the latest OLGA-S and TUFFP unified mechanistic models. PIPESIM* software offers the choice between industry-standard black-oil correlations or a range of equation-of-state compositional models. An accurate description of fluid properties is critical to correctly model the production system.
#What is pipesim how to#
How to design wells and pipelines to ensure that produced fluids will be safely and economically transported to the downstream processing facilities is a major challenge for engineers. These problems can be related to flow instability, erosion, corrosion, and solids formation, and can lead to serious risk of blockages. When oil, water, and gas simultaneously flow in a well or pipeline, a number of potential problems can arise. Some of the most severe production-operation hazards are risks associated with the transportation of fluids. Inorganic scalePipeline erosion, deposition of asphaltenes, hydrates, and wax.
