Multiflash Overview

About Multiflash 6.1

Multiflash 6.1 is the release that follows the major enhancements contained in Multiflash 6 and Multiflash 6SP1, bringing to full maturity the new and improved GUI on which Multiflash 6 is based. This new release carries some significant improvements in usability and user experience, as well as various new functionalities, aimed at widening and strengthening the use of Multiflash as the standard PVT in flow assurance, as well expanding its capabilities in other applications in process engineering, sizing of equipment and operations monitoring, from the reservoir to the refinery.

Summary of main themes

  • Model Real Fluids - With its unique range of accurate and consistent thermodynamic and physical properties models, Multiflash allows predicting with great accuracy, the phase behaviour and transport properties of complex and highly non-ideal fluid mixtures, exhibiting the coexistence of several liquid, solid and gas phases for applications in upstream oil and gas production and transport (reservoir fluids, oils, condensates, natural gases, CO2, steam, high water cuts, alcohols, glycols etc.), petrochemicals (polymer and co-polymer blends), chemicals (acids, refrigerants) etc.
  • Maximise Production - With its highly reliable and advanced models for gas hydrates and hydrates inhibition, wax, asphaltene, solid scales and mercury, Multiflash is the standard PVT and physical properties package in flow assurance. Multiflash allows modelling truly multi-phase systems, exhibiting the coexistence of several fluid and solid phases, providing an integrated and reliable solution for production optimisation and to forecast and handle potential flow assurance or equipment availability issues.
  • Optimise Work Processes - Already embedded in leading flow assurance, production and process engineering software tools and with its advanced connectivity, Multiflash allows drastic increases of the effectiveness and efficiency of the engineering process, eliminating potential sources or errors due to the use of inconsistent fluid properties throughout the various steps of design and project execution. Multiflash provides engineers with a fully integrated workflow to accurately evaluate the physical and transport properties of reservoir fluids, perform point checks to avoid potential issues, rapidly assess options and compare the effect of design strategies and engineering solutions.
