Production Engineering Solutions

Solve your production system problems with petroleum industry tested software

Analyze Producing Systems From Wells and Reservoirs to Surface Networks

Production Engineering Solutions are designed specifically forproduction, facilities, reservoir and completion engineers. Ourproduction engineering software combines robust analysis andmodeling techniques trusted by the world’s largest oil and servicecompanies. This integrated application helps you calculate what-ifscenarios, quickly and accurately, to better design and exploitwells and reservoirs. From simple NODAL analysis to complexnetwork design, no application offers more value.

PERFORM®

Engineers worldwide have enhanced their overallproductivity and bottom line with PERFORM, a costeffective well-performance application that has becomethe world standard for NODAL analysis. Some areaswhere PERFORM can help you:

• Predicting liquid loading in producing wells
• Improving completion design
• Modeling downhole networks including multilayer and multilateral wells
• Modeling gas/water injection
• Optimizing/designing gaslift systems
• Predicting flow assurance (Scale/Hydrate) problems in wellbore / flowlines for both offshore and onshore wells
• Pressure gradient analysis and coiled tubing/velocity string calculations
• Evaluating vertical or horizontal well potentials
• Modeling natural or hydraulically fractured wells
• Predicting a well’s performance in unconventional(CBM, tight formation, etc.) formations
• Improving mature field or brown field production
• Generating ‘what if’ scenarios by changing parameters(like water cut, pressure, tubing size, etc.)

SubPUMP®

SubPUMP software gives you a single, concise source forquick Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) system design andanalysis. It calculates side-by-side comparisons of howvarious ESP components (pump, motor, cable, etc.) wouldaffect production. SubPUMP is recognized as the world’smost popular and unbiased source for evaluating potentialperformance from an ESP well. It includes a database of3,000+ pieces of equipment from 9 different leading ESPmanufacturers worldwide. You can also do a combinedESP and Gaslift study if you are considering such option.If you have the data, SubPUMP allows you to easily importyour equipment into the program.

PipeSoft-2®

You can model and troubleshoot well/pipeline networkswith PipeSoft-2. It allows you to model gas and oil gatheringsystems under steady-state flow conditions. It will also helpyou to identify bottlenecks and flow assurance problemsanywhere in pipeline systems. You can also generate severalscenarios by changing any flow parameter, adding/removinga well, or deactivating any branch from the main network andmuch more. Only PipeSoft-2 offers three network solutionmethods, allowing you to reach faster solution for a problem.

Fluid types include compositional (dynamic), black oil(including non-Newtonian), condensate, steam, CO2, andsingle phase gas and oil. Systems can range from one ormore production or injection wells, individual pipelines,flow lines, gathering systems, distribution systems andcomplex, field-wide systems with loops.

PipeSoft-2’s unique, color-coded display, aids in design
and,troubleshooting for, downhole, piping and, facilities systems.

PVTLIB®

Without correct fluid properties, you risk inaccuracy in yourreservoir and production engineering calculations. PVTLIBenhances your accuracy with one of the industry’s mostextensive libraries of empirically derived models, offeringmore than 140 PVT correlations for oil, gas, condensate andwater. And with a few mouse clicks, pull PVTLIB data intoPipeSoft-2, PERFORM, or SubPUMP.

Engineers gain valuable tools to streamline workflows

Production Engineering Solutions are designed forfast data access and streamlined data entry. PipeSoft-2®,PERFORM®, and SubPUMP® give you connections topopular reservoir simulators via flow tables, as well asupload equipment design from ESP manufacturers.
