​Pipesim extensibility and integration

Extend simulation power with the Python Toolkit API

The Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator includes a rich and fully documented application programming interface (API) called Python Toolkit that serves as an extensibility framework to facilitate communication with the Pipesim simulator models directly without opening the user interface (UI). The Python Toolkit streamlines the process of automating the building of models from scratch, updating existing models, running simulations, and getting results back to MS Excel to any visualization dashboard using Python language. Customers can combine machine learning techniques in Python with the Pipesim simulator’s powerful multiphase flow simulation capabilities to unleash unlimited innovation and research opportunities.

Seamlessly integrates Pipesim simulator with reservoir simulators, process simulators and real-time systems

Through integration with other SLB and third-party software products, the Pipesim simulator allows you to build a fully integrated model of the entire asset, connecting with reservoir and process simulators such as the Eclipse reservoir simulator, Intersect reservoir simulator, Symmetry process simulation software, Aspen HYSYS, Honeywell UniSim and KBC Petro-SIM, as well as real-time data for online optimization.

Unlock asset-wide optimization through cross-platform integration

• Petrel subsurface software offers well deliverability modeling, which uses the Pipesim simulator to generate vertical flow performance (VFP) tables and perform nodal analysis.
• Avocet production operations software platform is used to manage production data and interface with the Pipesim simulator for model-based surveillance and optimization. Pipesim simulator well models can be executed and run within the Avocet platform.
• Integrated Asset Modeler (IAM) is an integration platform used to combine the Pipesim simulator with the Eclipse reservoir simulator, Aspen HYSYS and Honeywell UniSim process simulators, and even economic analysis tools such as Merak Peep or Excel for the simulation and optimization of entire assets, incorporating constraints at every level.
• Olga dynamic multiphase flow simulator models transient flow. The Pipesim simulator contains a conversion utility that allows you to export models into the Olga simulator.
• HYSYS is a process simulation software developed by Aspen Technology. Single-branch and network models in the Pipesim simulator can be embedded as fully integrated unit operations inside HYSYS.
• UniSim
• Symmetry is a process simulation software that supports Pipesim network as a unit operation.
