Flow Assurance Consultancy

Flow Assurance deals with design and operation of upstream production facilities to enable continuous uninterrupted flow for the entire operational life.

We provide Flow Assurance consultancy services in:

  • Transient Multiphase Flow

  • Production Chemistry and Fluid Phase Thermodynamics

  • Hydrate, Scale, Asphaltene, Wax Deposition & Corrosion management

  • CO2 transportation

  • Slug prediction & slug-catcher sizing

  • Integrated Production Modelling

  • Dynamics and Control Systems – subsea and topsides

  • Pressure Surge – water hammer dynamic simulations

  • Operations Support, troubleshooting and assessment

  • Well performance assessment

Operational Support

NetSiM

NetSiM© is a Steady-State and Transient multiphase simulator for design and operational support.

  • Pressure and Temperature implicitly solved together to provide a very numerically robust solution with minimum volume error.

  • Unique Pig by-pass model enables it to model liquid volume correctly which is critical for topsides design.

  • NetSiM© supports high degree of parallel processing which enables it to solve complex multiphase flow assurance problems at much higher speed and accuracy.

  • Flexibility to carry our Life of Field Simulations.

Tailor Made Tools

DSL has developed tailor made tools to model specific Flow Assurance / Operational requirements.

KPI : Key Performance Indicator

Custom-built by DSL for specific needs of an operating plant or production field. It performs post-mortem analysis to evaluate if procedures as laid out in Site Operating Procedures (SOP) were followed. It identifies if they were some excursions beyond the safe operating envelope, in-spite of following the procedures.

Cooldown Simulator

Provides gas / oil / water / mixture cooldown curves for a given system. This is useful for design and operation with an aim to determine the ‘No touch time’. A two-dimensional cooldown simulation can also be simulated.

Packing / De-packing Simulator

To simulate fast transients in multiphase / single phase system with minimum volume error and 2 heat equations for gas & liquid separately.

Adaptive Slug Controller

Adaptive Slug controller (ASC) is a patented (patent awarded in 2023) software tool which is installed on the DCS of an operating upstream facility. It continuously optimizes the Oil & Gas upstream production facility to provide maximum throughput while maintaining stability of the system.

  • Stabilizes terrain slugging.

  • Stabilizes facility in all operational slugging scenarios (ramp-up, start-up etc.).

  • Increases production.

  • Enhances integrity by reducing risk to wells/flowline.

  • Continuously adapts to unexpected facility transient events/upsets.

  • No operator intervention required.

  • Reduces slug volume during pigging operation.

The system (uncontrolled case – riser top choke 100% open) when pigged causes high surge volumes in the downstream slug-catcher causing it to reach high-high level values, which would have tripped the production facility. This scenario when simulated with the proposed invention, prevents high surge volumes, as it slows down the pig when it arrives. The liquid surge ahead of the pig is detected by the gas-fraction meter, causing the riser top choke to close and slow down the pig, causing lower peak surge volumes in the slug-catcher.

Founder

Abhinav Goel has more than 23 years of experience in oil and gas and chemical industry. His career started with downstream fertilizer / refinery operation / design and moved on to the upstream sector subsequently. His rich gamut of experience from consultancy / design companies to operating ones, brings an overall perspective to best engineering practices / guidelines in the overall life cycle of the project. Mr. Goel has been working in the complex field of flow assurance for the last 10 years, using the state of the art tools, while generating his own software codes which are extensively used for design / operational support. Mr. Goel graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from IIT Roorkee, India in 1993.
