Test Data & Analysis of Measured Gas Composition and Comparisons

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.
