SimSci-Esscor Demonstrates Upstream Optimization Suite for Integrated Asset Optimization

SimSci-Esscor (http://www.simsci-esscor.com) exhibited here today its complete Upstream Optimization Suite (UOS) for the oil and gas industry. The UOS is a set of integrated software tools providing multiphase flow modeling, transient multicomponent simulation, and strategic optimization of oil and gas production operations. These tools help integrate field-wide production analysis from sandface-to-surface facilities, increase asset-wide production, improve well design and performance, and integrate full-field reservoir modeling.



“The Upstream Optimization Suite helps upstream processors balance both availability and utilization of upstream assets to attain a true competitive edge in an increasingly dynamic marketplace. It enables use of advanced techniques, for example, that can model and simulate cost and output of a single well, an entire field, or multiple fields, supporting both immediate and long term performance and business improvements,” says Shaun Wright, Invensys vice president for upstream global solutions.



The UOS Suite supports oil and gas upstream asset management through the following three software programs:

PIPEPHASE version 9.0 transient multicomponent simulation tool, which automates design and analysis of oil and gas wells, production networks, and processing facilities. Its PRO/II interface is the first commercially released software tool linking a pipeline-network simulator with a steady-state flowsheet simulator, allowing for rigorous modeling of the interactions between piping/production networks and associated processing facilities.

TACITE transient multicomponent simulation software, which facilitates visualization, design, and control of upstream assets through accurate prediction of the propagation of liquid slugs that occur during transient flow conditions in a multiphase pipeline.

NETOPT strategic optimization software, which helps define an optimization strategy for a wide range of oil and gas field operations, including maximizing production of the overall asset or minimizing of capital expenditures over the life of a field.

In addition to the UOS suite, SimSci-Esscor also offers upstream producers a process engineering design and operational analysis toolset (Process Engineering Suite), advanced process control (APC) and on-line optimization applications (On-Line Performance Suite), dynamic simulation and high-fidelity control system emulation (Dynamic Simulation Suite), an engineering data and document-centric database management system (Comos FEED), dynamic plant operator training solutions (Operator Training Simulators), and advanced real-time SCADA processing that supports complex remote applications....
