Agenda

Introduction

• ProMax refresher

Gas Gathering System Simulation & Network Modeling

• Building pipelines and gathering network models including wells, manifolds, compressors, and transmission pipelines
• Using the ProMax Pipeline block to calculate pressure drop, temperature profiles, velocity, and flow regime in single- and multi-phase pipelines
• Modeling horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipelines with multiple segments, fittings, and valves
• Predicting condensate dropout, liquid holdup, and solids formation along pipeline systems
• Evaluating heat transfer and environmental heat losses for above-ground, buried, or subsea pipelines
• Using the ProMax GIS Tool™ to construct gathering networks directly from GIS data and automatically generate flowsheets
• Performing sensitivity analysis on operating parameters such as compressor discharge pressure, wellhead pressure, and flow conditions

PVT Tools & Fluid Characterization

• Introduction to ProMax PVT Tool™ and its applications for reservoir fluid analysis
• Simulating standard laboratory PVT studies using reservoir fluid compositions from bottomhole samples or separator data
• Generating key PVT properties such as phase behavior, compressibility, and fluid properties used in production system modeling
• Fluid characterization workflows for gas and condensate systems
• EOS selection and tuning for improved fluid representation
• Case study demonstrating PVT analysis and its integration into gathering system simulations
