Flow Assurance Study

Flow assurance study involves an economical approach to supply and transport fluids from the reservoir to a processing facility. During production and transportation of crude oil, fluid properties and operating conditions must be monitored.

Flow Assurance Study Methodology

  • Input Data Reviewing
  • Preparation of Assumption of Register and Basis of Study.
  • PVT Analysis.
    An assessment of the fluid composition will be undertaken using MultiFlash software
  • OLGA model preparation for the proposed Gathering Network.
    Development of OLGA simulation model including heat transfer mode for Gathering Network and conducting Flow assurance Study of Gathering system.
  • Flow Assurance analysis for the proposed Gathering system
    • Steady state hydraulic study will be performed to fix/verify flowline / trunkline sizes
    • Dynamic simulation for Optimized PLG Network system for the following scenarios will be performed (approx. 10 cases).
    • Hydrate formation risk analysis during normal and transient operations
    • Corrosion & Hydrate inhibitor injection requirements, including location and quantification of amounts.
    • Perform Scale Inhibitor tracking
    • Pipe line diameter optimization & pressure drop estimates for all the network models
    • Determine the Choke valve downstream details i.e. Pressure, Temperature, flow and composition by back calculation from Facility end.
    • Slug volume estimation based on analysis
    • Surge analysis & finalization of set pressures for process trips and process shut downs associated with the network.
    • Providing parameters related to Facility inlet fluid composition (mixed composition), Total flow rate (Gas + Oil+ water) & Operating pressure & Temperature.

Software used

The software used shall be OLGA /Multiflash /OLI Studio

Completion Period

The Completion Period for the study and finalization of the report shall be 14 Weeks

Deliverable

  • Assumption Register and Basis of Study
  • Flow Assurance Study Report (Steady state and Transient).
