Petro-SIM 7.2 improvements to Unit Operations

New variables in the Saturate Unit operation

New variables in the Saturate unit op.

Functionality description
The following are the dependent variables added to the Saturate Unit Operation:

• Oil-Ga-Ratio (OGR) - this is the inverse of GOR.
• Gas-Liquid-Ratio (GLR).
• Liquid-Gas-Ratio (LGR) - this is the inverse of GLR.
• Gas-Water-Ratio (GWR).
• Water-Gas-Ratio (WGR) - this is the inverse of WGR.

These variables are calculated on either a Dry or Wet basis and they also enhance the capabilities to simulate life of field for Upstream applications

New Pump Performance Curve generator.

Petro-SIM v7.2 can now generate pump curves in the Pump unit operation. The User can now enter the reference design flowrate, head and efficiency to be considered in the generation of the pump curves. By default, three curves for three different speeds will be generated, and the User can specify the generation of more than three curves.

New performance pump curve generator.

Improvements to Spreadsheet Logical op.

The Spreadsheet Logical operation in Petro-SIM v7.2 can now interpolate from a set of values. The new options available in Petro-SIM are the following:

• =INTERPOLATE_1D(Xrange, YRange, Xvalue)

  Sorts the data according to the Xrange (or insists that the Xrange is already ordered). It finds the linearly interpolated Xvalue within the Xrange, if its outside of the range extrapolates linearly as per table model function. It also calculates the Yvalue that matches the given Xvalue as the result.

• =INTERPOLATE_2D(Xrange1, Xrange2, YRange, Xvalue1, Xvalue2)

  Same as 1D interpolation, but needs to be cleverer because of the need to handle 2 independent variables. 

• =CUMULATIVE_1D(Xrange, YRange, Xvalue)

  It does the equivalent of INTERPOLATE_1D, but returns cumulative results for the YValue.
