Multiphase Flows (for Oil and Gas Production)
- Introduction to designing multiphase transportation systems.
- Thorough understanding of multiphase flows and software tools.
- Competently design pipelines for oil/gas and gas/condensate.
- Interface with other oil/gas industry disciplines.
- Course covers multiphase flow fundamentals and design topics.
Overview
The Multiphase Flows Training course aims to provide a systematic approach to designing multiphase transportation systems in the oil and gas industry. Participants will gain analytical understanding of multiphase flows, learn to design pipelines under various conditions, and interface with other industry disciplines. Topics include flow fundamentals, phase behavior, pipeline design, subsea systems, and transient flow design. The course targets engineers, researchers, managers, and professionals in the oil and gas sector. Delivery includes lectures, case studies, software demonstrations, and laboratory sessions over a 5-day duration.
Who should attend
Engineers, Consultants, Researchers, Managers
Course Content
Multiphase Flows Training
Course overview
To introduce a systematic approach to the design of multiphase transportation systems and the interaction between the upstream reservoir and the downstream processing plant.
Course Objectives
On successful completion of the module the delegate will be able to:
- Demonstrate a thorough analytical understanding of multiphase flows.
- Have a comprehensive knowledge of software tools and critical awareness of their limitations.
- Competently design multiphase transportation pipelines for oil/gas and gas/condensate duties under steady state and transient operating conditions.
- Interface with other oil/gas or related industry disciplines in a design or operating environment.
Course Topics
- Multiphase Flow Fundamentals: Introduction to multiphase flow principles, flow regimes, pressure/ temperature prediction and pipeline sizing.
- Phase Behaviour and Physical Properties: Black oil and compositional phase behaviour and PVT prediction software.
- Steady State Multiphase flow: Introduction to steady state multiphase flow design software tools for reservoirs, wells, flowlines and risers, network and nodal analysis. Oil/gas and gas/condensate pipeline design. Design for slugging flows. Solids transportation. Design for heavy oil transport.
- Design of Offshore and Onshore Pipelines: Pipeline sizing, installation, thermal insulation and corrosion protection.
- Subsea Production Systems: Subsea production system architecture, trees, manifolds, pigging, metering, separation and boosting systems.
- Transient Multiphase Flow design: Transient design software. Pipeline inventory management and slug catcher sizing. Integration with process plant operations. Transient thermal analysis, warm-up, cooldown, pipeline depressurisation and displacement.
Who Should Attend?
The course will be of particular interest to engineers in oil and gas exploration, production and operating companies, consultants, contractors, service providers and equipment suppliers involve in design and operation. Researchers who need to understand the background and application of their research. Managers who wants to understand the technical issues to aid decision making.
