Process Simulation of Legacy Oil & Gas Production Systems

Optimisation of mature oil & gas assets require optimisation of legacy oil & gas production systems. This is because the original process designs were performed 20-30 years ago, where operating conditions and process requirements have changed. This requires the development of a new process model of the entire production facility. The model then enables determining the production bottlenecks, which have since appeared, and which are restricting production to be indentified leading to optimised solutions for the facilities. 

Our experience is that separators, heat exchanges, compressors are all operating at conditions far removed from their original design. MSE has carried out process simulations of a large number of legacy platforms and production facilities and have helped the operating companies identify cost effective and practical solutions.

MSE's proprietary dynamic simulation systems are design to incorporate the process simulation models of the production facility, for verification of the plant operation and control.
