GAP:
Improved Validation and Warnings
Additional Constraints
Max C-Factor, GVF at ESP Inlet, Max Torque (Compressors), Max temperature (nodes)
DCQ Control added to RBNS
Inline Injection Element: Controls/Constraints added to RBNS
Improved Thermal Models – Calculate Heat Transfer Coefficient
Similar to the Enthalpy Balance model PROSPER, allows calculation of heat transfer coefficient taking into account heat tranfer mechanisms and pipeline description and environment.
Group Control Equipment
Allows multiple compressor speed to be controlled with the same value i.e. fixed speed or calculated by RBNS or Optimiser.
Compressor Wear Factor
Allows wear on compressor head to be captured and calibrated.
PVT Match Parameter Import From PROSPER
Ability to bring in PVT matching parameters from PROSPER, if a consistent PVT correlation is selected throughout the model.
OLGAS 3P Emulsion Match Parameters (Pal & Rhodes Parameters)
Plotting Package Enhancements
Prediction VLP/IPR Intersection Playback
Allows prediction results of a well in IPM 11 to be viewed in terms of VLP/IPR curves over time
Plot pipeline gradient between two selected nodes
Improvement to emulsion modelling UI – Select injection fluid to consider for plotting
Report In-situ Rate
Generate Compressor Curve from Test Data
GAP Transient:
New Transient Flow Simulator
Used with GAP to model transient flow within wells and surface pipeline network.
Ability to quickly and easily transform an existing steady-state GAP model into a transient model.
Flexible Model Setup
Allows the entire network of wells and pipeline to be modelled in transient or alternatively a smaller subset of the network can be modelled using transient calculations while the other elements remain steady-state.
Robust IPR Modelling
Allows integration with Transient IPR models for more realistic inflow response
Allows integration with numerical simulators through RESOLVE
2D/3D visualisation of detailed transient results
Direct access to results similar to steady-state pipeline flow assurance
Ability to run slug catcher analysis on transient pipeline/well results
MBAL Version 14 – Enhancements Implemented:
History matching and Simulations
· In the “History matching-History Setup” there is a new option to, “Include water tank transmissibility water rates in aquifer for energy plots”. This is only for multi tanks where a water tank with aquifer has been defined to model a common aquifer.
· Comments added to a history data point are now displayed in plots as a popup (i.e. when hovering the cursor)
· Now possible to connect a history well to more than one prediction well.
· Flying brick plot – accessed from analysis button in the history simulation and prediction plot. Shows the various components for expansion and production for a particular time step. It is also possible to do an animation so it skips thru all the time steps.
Tight Reservoir
· Phase correction has been added to tight reservoir wells in MBAL. This is the same correction as in Resolve’s tight reservoir object.
PVT
· Added option to model gas dissolved in water
Miscellaneous
· Undo facility under input menu allowing users to undo a change to the main interface (i.e. the addition of a tank element / transmissibility). · MBAL will now auto-save the current data to a file in the temporary directory in case the PC fails or MBAL crashes.
