Tubing Design

Advanced thermal modelling and multi-string analysis

Oliasoft WellDesign's Tubing Design module features an advanced finite volume thermal simulator that calculates temperature and pressure development for any well configuration.

Benefit from comprehensive transient simulation for multiphase fluid operations and seamless integration for an enhanced engineering workflow.

Utilize Oliasoft WellDesign's Annular Fluid Expansion (AFE) module and annular pressure buildup (APB) calculations to ensure advanced temperature effects of dynamic systems comply with all regulatory standards.

The Tubing Design module is seamlessly integrated within the Oliasoft WellDesign platform, allowing automatic re-calculations that cascade throughout the system with any design adjustments.

Transient multi phase temperature simulator

Oliasoft Tubing Design’s transient simulator handles all operations from multiphase fluid production through to tubing and annulus injection, and circulation to shut-in scenarios.

Our advanced finite volume thermal simulator calculates temperature and pressure development for all annuli - including cement and formations - in any well configuration.

Equation of state

Users can simulate hydrocarbon flow in wells utilizing advanced Equations of State (EOS) such as SRK and Peng-Robinson, with or without Peneloux correction. These EOS models accurately predict properties like density, compressibility, enthalpy, and entropy across various pressures and temperatures. The system supports C7+ and “no plus” fluid characterizations and comprehensive “black oil” correlations to enable users to define their fluid in the way they prefer.

Support multiple equations of state and C7 plus characterization and no plus fluids

Calculating fluid properties at different pressure and temperature

Perform unlimited nested operations

Perform unlimited nested operations to ensure accurate simulations and thermal profile development. Produce transient thermal profiles for use as appropriate across the Oliasoft WellDesign workflow.

Flexible packer configurations for tubing string design

Define tubing string design through tailored packer configurations, with temperature simulations linked to casing and tubing load selections.

Integrated annular fluid expansion and annulus pressure build up simulator

Simulate annular fluid expansion supporting multiple mitigation effects and other multi-string effects, ensuring designs meet both NORSOK-D010 and BSEE requirements. Our thermal simulator is continually refined in partnership with Norway’s Institute for Energy Technology (IFE).
