Extensibility

The Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator includes a rich and fully documented application programming interface (API) called Python Toolkit that serves as an extensibility framework to facilitate communication with Pipesim models directly without opening the User Interface (UI). The Python Toolkit streamlines automating building modeling from scratch, updating existing models, running simulations and getting results back to Excel to any visualization dashboard using Python language. Clients can combine machine learning techniques in Python with Pipesim’s powerful multiphase flow simulation capabilities to unleash unlimited innovation and research opportunities. 

Integration

Through integration with other SLB and third-party software products, the PIPESIM simulator allows you to build a fully integrated model of the entire asset, connecting with reservoir and process simulators such as the Eclipse industry-reference reservoir simulator, Aspen HYSYS, Honeywell UniSim and KBC Petro-SIM, as well as real-time data for online optimization.

  • Petrel subsurface software offers well deliverability modeling, which uses the Pipesim simulator to generate VFP tables and perform nodal analysis.
  • Avocet production operations software platform is used to manage production data and interface with the Pipesim simulator for model-based surveillance and optimization. Pipesim well models can be executed and run within the Avocet platform.
  • Avocet Integrated Asset Modeler (IAM) is an integration platform used to combine the Pipesim simulator with the Eclipse reservoir simulator, Aspen HYSYS and Honeywell UniSim process simulators, and even economic analysis tools such as Merak Peep or Excel for the simulation and optimization of entire assets, incorporating constraints at every level. 
  • Avocet Gas Lift Manager is a comprehensive gas lift surveillance and management solution that uses real-time data for online diagnostics and optimization using the Pipesim simulator.
  • Olga dynamic multiphase flow simulator models transient flow. The Pipesim simulator contains a conversion utility that allows you to export models into the Olga simulator. 
  • HYSYS is a process simulation software developed by Aspen Technology. Single-branch and network models in the Pipesim simulator can be embedded as fully integrated unit operations inside HYSYS.
  • UniSim is a process simulation software developed by Honeywell Process Systems. Single-branch and network models in the Pipesim simulator can be embedded as fully integrated unit operations inside the UniSim design.
  • Petro-SIM is a process simulation software developed by KBC. Single-branch and network models in the Pipesim simulator can be embedded as fully integrated unit operations inside Petro-SIM (version 6 and later).
