PIPESIM designed an ESP pump providing 800 psi additional lift, raising rate to 900 bbl/d. However, high water cut makes ESP economically marginal compared to gas lift.
: By modeling multiphase flow (oil, gas, and water), PIPESIM allows engineers to predict and mitigate risks such as slugging, wax deposition, and hydrate formation, ensuring consistent production. pipesim simulation
: Predicts risks such as wax and asphaltene deposition , erosion , and severe slugging . Key Components of a Model PIPESIM designed an ESP pump providing 800 psi
Instead of assuming fixed IPR curves, couple Pipesim with a reservoir simulator (Petrel RE or ECLIPSE) for time-dependent analysis. This reveals how rate changes in one well affect reservoir pressure and thus performance of neighboring wells. : Predicts risks such as wax and asphaltene
| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Single or multilateral wells, deviated/horizontal trajectories. | | Network analysis | Multiple wells, flowlines, separators, compressors. | | Artificial lift | ESP, gas lift, PCP, rod pump design and analysis. | | Hydrate & wax prediction | Thermal modeling to prevent flow assurance issues. | | Sensitivity analysis | Parametric sweeps (e.g., tubing size, WHP, GOR). |
To run a PIPESIM simulation, users typically define three main elements: Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator - SLB
