Olga dynamic multiphase flow simulator
The industry-standard tool for dynamic multiphase flow simulation
The industry-standard tool for dynamic multiphase flow simulation.
Ensures fluid flow to maintain production—from pore to process
Some of the most severe operational hazards are associated with the transportation of fluids. When oil, water, and gas simultaneously flow in a well or pipeline, many problems can arise. These problems may be related to flow instabilities, solids formation that may potentially block the flowpath, and erosion and corrosion that may potentially result in pipeline ruptures.
The Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator offers workflows for both front-end system design and production operations. The Pipesim simulator is frequently used to identify situations that require more detailed transient simulation using the Olga multiphase flow simulator. Such situations may include shut-in, startup, ramp-up, terrain-induced slugging, severe slugging, slug tracking, hydrate kinetics and wellbore cleanup. Together, the Pipesim and Olga simulators offer the most rigorous modeling solution for multiphase flow systems.

Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator incorporates the three core areas of flow modeling: multiphase flow, heat transfer and fluid behavior. For 30 years, the Pipesim simulator has been continuously improved not only by the latest science in these areas, but also the latest innovations in computing and oil and gas industry technologies.
The Pipesim simulator includes advanced three-phase mechanistic models, rigorous heat transfer modeling and comprehensive PVT modeling options. The ESRI-supported GIS map canvas helps deliver true spatial representation of wells, equipment and networks. Networks can be built either on the GIS canvas or automatically using a GIS shapefile. Rapid well model building and analysis are done with an interactive graphical wellbore. The implementation of a new parallel network solver, which spreads the computational load across all processors results in a faster simulation runtime.
Pipesim flow assurance modeling training courses address the unique need of each learner, our courses, delivered by world-class experts, teach learners how to deal with real-life scenarios and solve genuine problems.
