Houston: PVT Simulation for Flow Assurance
October 12 - 14 2010
About the course
This course gives a comprehensive overview of PVT for systems where solids may form. The course begins with equilibrium modeling for two phase systems (gas/liquid) and then expands to multiphase systems where water and solids are present in addition to gas and oil. Finally the course will cover simulation of transport of solid wax in multiphase oil and gas pipelines.
The following topics will be covered
- General EOS modeling of petroleum reservoir fluids
- Input to PVTsim
- Equations of State
- Compositional analysis
- QC of fluid compositions
- Viscosity tuning
- Multiple fluid EOS modeling (Same Pseudos)
- Modeling of Polar components
- Water
- Hydrate inhibitors
- Solids equilibrium
- Hydrates
- Wax
- Asphaltenes
- Solids Transport
- Wax deposition in pipelines
- Input for external simulators
- Use PVTsim fluid model to provide input for other simulators, like OLGA
Who Should Participate
Engineers engaged in simulations on petroleum fluids with an emphasis on flow assurance. The course focuses particularly on fluid and pipeline modeling in situations where solids formation poses a problem for production.
