Limited network capabilities A typical gathering network will have well flows that depend on the back pressure of the network and a discharge pressure. Limited network models can be done with Adjust blocks to balance pressures (use Simultaneous Adjusts) A network that gathers more than five wells is usually slow to solve - Could have more wells with some flows fixed

Modeling Heavy Oil & Gas Production Facilities Using Aspen HYSYS Upstream

Workshops

Oil-Gas Separation Plant Workshop Objective This module is a continuation of the Oil and Gas Feed simulation and Pipeline by Pipe Segment modules. You will model a two-stage oil-gas separation plant used to separate the gas, crnde oil, and water contained in the streams produced from the reservoirs. Each separation train consists of a 3-phase separator followed by some additional gas processing (a low temperature separator and compressor). The lean, dry gas produced must meet a pipeline hydrocarbon dew point specification before it is delivered to the gas plant for further processing. The crude oil extracted from the separation process is exported for refining. The water produced is collected for reinsertion to the wells, where it is used to pressurize the reservoir to enhance the recovery of remaining oil and gas deposits.

Description The standard Aspen HYSYS unit operations such as separators, heat transfer equipment, and rotating equipment items can also be employed in an upstream model. This Oil-Gas Separation model is a simulation of a standard-type processing unit. The model will also attempt to meet ce1iain product specifications and this is made possible by using certain logical (or mathematical) operations in HYSYS. This workshop includes the following tasks: • • •

Task I - Open Starter & Inlet Separator Task 2 - Finish the Model Task 3 - Dew Point Control

Task 1 - Open Starter & Inlet Separator You will use the case created in the Pipeline module as the base for building this module. o o

Open the case 02_Oil-Gas Pipeline.hsc. Save this case as 03_ OGSP Starter.hsc.

Note: The Oil-Gas separation plant will be built with only streams 'Reservoir I' and 'Reservoir2 '. The oil and gas production from reservoirs 1 and 2 enter the separation plant at a controlled pressure and proceed to a 3-phase separator. This separates the gas, crude oil, and water phases into three different streams. Overhead gas from the 3-phase separator is then passed through a cooler where heavier hydrocarbons condense. These hydrocarbon liquids are separated from the cooled gas in a Low-Temperature Separator. A compressor raises the pressure of the dry, cold gas up to the operating conditions of the pipeline. The condensed liquids from the low temperature separator are mixed with the crude oil from the 3-phase separator. The combined liquid stream then proceeds to the secondary separation train. An inlet valve is added to reduce the pressure of the pipeline before the production fluid enters the 3-phase Separator.

The next step is to provide a value for the target variable, which in this case is the dew point temperature. The pipeline specification to which we must adhere is to keep the HC Dew Point temperature at or below -14 °F (-25.5 °C). You will allow for a I °C safety margin in your specification, however.

The fluid in this case is varied; both sour and sweet gases are being combined in the pipeline, as well as a gas condensate mixture. Various piping connections combine all of the incoming gas streams from the outlying wells into one common header. Flow lines extending from this central site to each of the individual wells are modeled in Aspen HYSYS Upstream using the Pipe and Complex Pipe operations available in Aspen Hydraulics. Since the plant is located in an area with mixed terrain, the elevation changes must be accounted for. Aspen Hydraulics Mixer operations are used to model mixing points where flows from remote wells are combined in common lines. Pipe Diameters for each of the branches are: Pipe Branch

Schedule 40 steel pipe is used throughout and all branches are buried in Dry Peat at a depth of 1 m (3 ft) with an ambient temperature of 12°C. All pipes are uninsulated. Elevation data for each of the branches are provided in the following table. Branches that traverse undulating terrain have been subdivided into a number of segments with elevation points assigned at locations where there is a significant slope change. Such locations in the network are labelled on the schematic diagram with the elevation value in italics.

Task 2 - Add Hydraulics Sub-Flowsheet Aspen Hydraulics can be used to simulate a wide variety of piping situations ranging from single/multiphase plant piping with rigorous heat transfer estimation, to largecapacity, looped pipeline problems. It offers the pressure drop correlations developed by HTFS and the commonly used Beggs and Brill. The heat transfer can be estimated in detail including multiple layers of insulation both inside and outside the pipe. By default in steady-state, Aspen Hydraulics works with specified inlet flow rates and a specified back pressure. In this simulation we will be using some of the common unit operations available inside Aspen Hydraulics: Pipe, Complex Pipe, and Mixer. The standard mode of calculation used by Aspen Hydraulics means that the feed pressures will be calculated and therefore should be left unspecified. However, Aspen Hydraulics does need to know the thermodynamic state of the feed streams and there are two ways of achieving this: I. Install a unit operation between a completely specified feed stream that results in a stream with a known mass enthalpy and an unknown pressure. For example, you can add Valve, without specifying pressure drop. The valve will pass the Enthalpy, Flow and Composition infonnation from inlet to the outlet. 2. Provide a reference condition for each feed stream inside Aspen Hydraulics flowsheet. In this workshop, we will use the second method.

Task 3 - Build the Piping Network Aspen Hydraulics is very strict when it comes to connecting various pieces of equipment. The following three rules that need to be respected: Inlet and outlet streams need to be connected to a pipe or complex pipe segment You cannot have two fitting type objects (Swage, Tee, Mixer) in series, there needs to be a pipe in between You cannot connect two pipe or complex pipe models with different inside diameters. You must use a swage to model the change in diameter. Pipes can be modeled using either the regular Pipe or the Complex Pipe operation. The Complex Pipe allows for multiple piping segments, much like the HYSYS Pipe Segment operation, while the regular Pipe just allows for one segment. The Complex Pipe will be used for Branches 1, 3, and 6 while the regular Pipe will be used for all other piping branches in the network. o o o

Add an Aspen Hydraulics Complex Pipe from the Hydraulics object Palette. Double click on the complex pipe. On the cotmections page, connect Gas Well! as the inlet, Bl-Out as the outlet, and also add a duty stream Bl-Q. Rename the Complex Pipe-100 to Branch 1.

Task 5 - Heat Transfer Contributions The heat loss parameters to be used are as follows. Pipes buried in Dry Peat at a depth of 1 m with an ambient temperature of l 2°C. There is no insulation on the pipes. The pipe thickness is defined by the Pipe Schedule (Schedule 40). For simplicity we have used the nominal pipe diameters up till now, we now need to use the col1'ect inside and outside diameters. Below is a list of the required sizes for our pipes: Nominal Size

Inside Diameter

Wall Thickness

3" (76.2 mm)

77.93 mm

5.5mm

4" (101.6 mm)

102.3 mm

6.0mm

6" (152.0 mm)

154.1 mm

7.1 mm

Note: Before you start doing these modifications, click the ignore checkbox of the Aspen Hydraulics operation. This will prevent the operation for solving each time you change an input. Heat transfer calculations in Aspen Hydraulics take a bit of time to complete, so we will wait until all details are provided before calculating.

Make sure the Hydraulics sub-flowsheet is Ignored as shown above. Go to the subflowsheet environment by clicking on Show Flowsheet button. Update the seven piping operations in the sub-flowsheet with the diameters Go to Data fonn to define diameter. Go to the Heat Transfer fonn of each pipe and complex pipe. Make sure Mild Steel is selected as material in each case. Define the thickness. For simple pipe, check Estimate HTC radio button to define thickness in Heat Transfer form. For each pipe and complex pipe, use the Heat Transfer fonn to enter the required heat transfer parameters. Shown below are the forms for a complex pipe and a pipe.

Modeling Heavy Oil & Gas Production Facilities Using Aspen HYSYS Upstrea111

Dynamic Pigging Workshop Objective After completing this workshop, you will be able to provide sufficient information to fully configure and use the pigging operations within an Aspen Hydraulics sub-flowsheet. You will also get an opportunity to use dynamic modeling capabilities of Aspen HYSYS and review some of the basics of the HYSYS Dynamics package.

Description Aspen Hydraulics is intended for use within the Aspen HYSYS® Oil & Gas option and in particular with the Dynamic Pipeline Solver embedded within Aspen Hydraulics. The Dynamic Pipeline Solver is designed for modeling transient multiphase hydrocarbon flows in wells, pipelines, and process equipment. The Dynamic Pipeline Solver solves mass, momentum and energy equations for each phase using a one-dimensional finite difference scheme. Appropriate flow pattern maps and constitutive relationships are provided for wall and interfacial friction, heat transfer, and a model for multi-component phase-change is included. You have learned about using the Aspen Hydraulics sub-flowsheet in the previous module. The purpose of this module is to set up a pigging operation in the dynamic mode of HYSYS and illustrate how to integrate this infonnation with a piping network model. This workshop includes the following tasks: • • • • •

Task 1 - Review the Base Hydraulics Case In this section, we are going to inspect and run the Aspen Hydraulics model that is included with the course files. We will configure a pigging operation and observe how it affects the liquid holdup and other variables in the piping network. o o

Open the supplied case file 05_HydroPigging_base.hsc in Aspen HYSYS. Right click on the hydraulics operation AH-100 and click on Open Flowsheet as New Tab. to reveal the sub-flowsheet.

Within the hydraulics sub-flowsheet view the pressure profile across the process by using the keyboard combination Shift-P. Notice that three incoming flows (Alpha-2, Bravo-2, and Charlie-2) merge into a single downstream source (108). Press Shift-N to show the stream names once again. Inspect the elevation profile for the piping network by navigating to the Design I Data page for each pipe. Pay particular attention to Pipe-104. You should see that Pipe-102 declines 60 111 and Pipe-105 exhibits a 60 111 increase in elevation. All other pipes have no elevation change. We can review the liquid hold up for each pipe in the network. This is done by navigating to the Performance I Profiles page for each pipe and selecting the Plot button toward the lower left of the window. After clicking on the Plot button, the plot window appears. Use the pull down list at the top to select the Plot Variables as Liquid Holdup vs. Axial Distance. Compare the liquid holdup for Pipe-104 vs. Pipe-102 and Pipe-105. You should see that the liquid hold-up for Pipe-104 increases with axial distance. Close all the plot windows when you are satisfied.

Task 2 - Transition from Steady State to Dynamics In this part of the workshop, you will convert the steady state file into a dynamic file. Please note that this course is not intended to serve as full instrnction of HYSYS Dynamics. Separate training on HYSYS Dynamics is recommended if you wish for a full overview and introduction into that product. In this module we will learn minimum infonnation needed to convert this particular steady state file into dynamics, particularly smrnunding the pigging of a pipeline. o

HYSYS Dynamics requires a dynamic pressure or flow specification all boundary streams (i.e. inlets/outlets). Change the color scheme to Dynamic P/F Specs. To do this, go to Flowhsheet/Modify ribbon. In the Display Options group, change the Color Scheme to Dynamic P/F Scheme. This will make it easier to see which streams have a dynamic pressure or flow specification in place.

o

If the Dynamic P/F Specs is not listed in the drop down list: click on the icon before the field to add the color scheme.
