Oil & Gas production systems are designed for
gas compositions which were made available at the very start of
the project. With continued production, the process conditions
and gas compositions change. These changes have a "knock-on"
effect on the operation of the process equipment which were
designed for the initial conditions. To ensure that the process
plant is operating correctly, it is necessary to determine the
gas compositions at different points within the process plant.
This is achieved by obtaining current oil and
gas samples, which are then sent for laboratory analysis.
The results are then compared with the original process
simulation, and any deviations are used to re-calibrate the
process models. This aligns the process models and enables the
models to be used for accurate forecasts.
MSE has extensive experience of carrying out analysis of field
data and calibration of process simulation models. Our
experience has shown that process simulation forecasts after
field tests and analysis, provide far more accurate results and
help optimise production. and trouble-shooting. |
