The Balance of Multi-phase Gathering and Transport Systems

摘要

Natural gases are a mixture of hydrocarbons which are generally in a gaseous state. Due to the variation in transport parameters (pressure, temperature) and gas composition, there may be sectors where those appear in liquid state, the condensate. The paper presents a system for managing the quantities of fluids from a network in which the liquid state appears. Based on a simulator that includes flash computation, a physical balance of the transport or gathering network can be made.
