Dynamic pipeline temperature profile
Marathon Kinsale Head
ode provides a full range of process engineering and flow assurance skills, servicing all elements of the Company’s work portfolio.
During the early Appraise and Select phases of a project, process modelling is crucial to establish field development scenarios taking into account flowing conditions from well bore through to end receiver, gas and oil production envelopes, export characteristics, etc. thereby establishing processing requirements.
Process engineering is not limited to hydrocarbon systems and ode has considerable experience in water injection facilities and produced water treatment.
The Company has experience with all important process simulation software such as:
- Hysim/Hysis
- PipeNet
- FlareNet
- OLGA
- PLAC
Typical studies include:
- Pipeline transient state flow analysis
- Pipeline steady state flow analysis
- Slugging analysis
- Facilities process modelling
- Emergency and controlled blowdown
- Process optimisation
- Overall system simulation modelling
- Reservoir delivery optimisation
- Oil/Gas/Water separation analysis
- Hydrate management
- Compression optimisation
- Gas Treatment
- Wax mobilisation
- Gas to liquids conversion (GTL)
Recent projects to which ode has provided process engineering and flow assurance services include:
