Pipesim
steady-state multiphase flow simulator
Overcome fluid flow challenges and optimize production.
Olga hydrate kinetics
Predict the onset of solid hydrate formation and melting rate in both drilling and production operations.
Overview
Gas hydrates cause major and potentially hazardous flow assurance problems in production operations. A typical area of concern is multiphase transport lines from wellhead to the production facility where low seabed temperatures and high operating pressures increase the risk of blockage due to gas hydrate formation.
Applications
The Olga simulator predicts the risk of hydrate formation and provides the operating envelope for preventing formation of hydrates in well stream transport, process facilities, and design interventions in the event of solid hydrate formation.
Benefits
Predicting the occurrence of hydrates and estimate the amount of hydrates formed
Using hydrate slurry technology
Modeling hydrate slurry flow
