Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator
Production optimization over the complete lifecycle
The new generation in multiphase flow simulation to overcome fluid flow challenges and optimize production.
Olga FEMtherm
Olga FEMtherm simulates the thermal effects for a general heat transfer problem with nonradial symmetry.
Overview
FEMtherm supports effective screening of temperature effects on a wide range of bundle geometries and burial configurations to ensure safe conditions during normal operations. The module also predicts the impact of temperature changes during shut-down and start-up procedures.
Applications
Examples of possible workflows
- Determining the spatial temperature distribution in pipeline bundle cross sections
- Investigating the effect of thermal insulation
- Examining heat exchange between pipelines in the same bundle, for example when considering pipeline heating during shut-in or prior to start-up
- Analysis of the temperature field in the soil around buried pipelines
Benefits
Transient simulations of heat and fluid flow applications
Bundled pipelines
Buried and half-buried pipelines
Complex risers
Heating, cooling, and heat exchange effects
Well completion
Thermal interaction between wells
Features
Uses finite element analysis to calculate temperature profiles and heat transfer for any general geometry
