How IAM Maximize Reserves

Burullus

Construct flow assurance (Tubing & Pipelines sizing). Compression Optimization. Surveillance on Subsea network (Optimization).

Flow Assurance Flow assurance is establishing gas,oil&water from the wells streams to the delivery location. Concerns:
Erosion Corrosion Stress design Hydrate Minimum stable rate

Burullus

Minimum stable rate

Burullus

Minimum rate that the gas can continuously lift the liquid. (Lift Curves OLGAS 2P Correlation)

Stable Flow

Unstable Flow

Compression Optimization
Effect of compression stages
Sealine pressure,Bara Number of Abandont wells Sales Gas Gain ,MMSCFD Network Flowing Condition 27 0 180 ++ Healthy 50 4 280+ Hold up at Scarab/Safron field 80 8 ----Hold up at Simian/Sienna & Scarab Safron fields

Conclusion

Burullus

IAM is a tool to Maximize Reserves

Tubing & flow line sizing (Calculation & optimization). Compression optimization. Surveillance on subsea network & De-bottlenecking.
