Hydraulics Links in Petro-SIM 6

Third Party Hydraulic Technology

Petro-SIM provides integration to leading third-party technology for other hydraulic modelling vendors and software including:

  • Schlumberger PIPESIM™ for steady state integrated production modelling.
  • Schlumberger OLGA™ software and Billington Process Technology OLX™ link for dynamic integrated production modelling.
  • Flaretot Limited Flaretot Professional™ software for a rigorous approach to modelling of flare systems in a single flare simulation environment.

Life-of-Field Integrated Production Modeling

Using the Hydraulics link to Maximus provides a unique field-wide and life-of-field modelling capability that combines thermal hydraulic and compositional rigour for accurate, steady state modelbased performance predictions.

Maximus delivers world leading decision support with a realistic representation of all the major components of a field-wide system.

By combining rigorous Maximus production models with high-fidelity Petro-SIM process models, an Integrated Production Model (IPM) reduces the number of arbitrary boundary specification and design margins. By using Maximus in conjunction with Petro-SIM in an IPM, alternative designs enable you to reflect actual operating conditions with more realistic design margins and provide lower CAPEX designs that allow quick decision-making within your organisation.

Maximus – Petro-SIM – Multiflash Advantage

Using an IPM with Multiflash’s verified and accurate PVT/compositional data and applicable equation of state methods provides a consistent basis for production and processing simulation. A consistent thermodynamic basis allows all groups working on the project to collaborate effectively and efficiently. This can only be achieved using KBC’s Maximus and Petro-SIM technology along with the Multiflash common thermodynamic basis.

Investigate the impact of time-dependent variables such as changing process feed flow rate, gas quality, and seasonal ambient air temperature based on the gas turbine performance.

Cumulative and time-weighted average values of feeds, products, fuel gas consumption, and energy consumption throughout the Life-of-Field study allows for quick evaluation of alternatives to maximise production and achieve optimum NPV.
