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 ROCX
Simulate Newtonian Darcy three phase (gas/oil/water) flow near the wellbore in three dimensions.
Overview
The Olga ROCX module is a dynamic reservoir model designed to model transient flow rates and pressures near the wellbore, where transient events occur on the same time scale as the wellbore and pipeline transients. The Olga simulator sends wellbore pressure information to the ROCX module, which then sends flow rates for each phase back to the Olga simulator.
Applications
- Liquid loading
- Bullheading and injection
- Crossflow and back-seepage
- Wellbore slugging
- Well kick-off and cleanup
- Well testing
- Shut-in/start-up
- Dynamic water and gas coning
Benefits
Apply thermal calculation capability
Handle both Cartesian and cylindrical grids
Use standardized output formats and simple keyword based input file
Features
- Account for skin factor for both radial and rectangular grids
- Use unified PVT solution
- Link multiple reservoir models to one Olga model
