INTEGRATED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM FOR CYCLIC SOLVENT DOMINATED PROCESSES

摘要

Systems and methods for monitoring the composition of a produced fluid recovered in a bitumen recovery facility in real-time to predict a phase profile of the produced fluid in real-time are described herein. The systems include at least one flow rate sensor, density sensor, temperature sensor and pressure sensor positioned between a bottom hole of a wellbore and an end of a production stream, and one or more processors operatively coupled to each of the sensors. The one or more processors, collectively, are configured to determine a water-cut of the produced fluid in real-time, determine a solvent content of hydrocarbons of the produced fluid in real-time based on the water-cut, a hydrocarbon density correlation and a bitumen density correlation, and predict a phase profile of the produced fluid in real-time based on the temperature and pressure of the produced fluid. The systems are also configured to initiate actions for mitigating potential flow assurance disruptions based on the predicted phase profile of the produced fluid.
