OLGA Description
A thorough understanding of multiphase flow behavior is essential for successful production system design and operation. Flow simulation and modeling provide valuable insights into flow behavior. This includes the physics that describes flow through the entire production system, from the reservoir pore to the process facility. To maximize production potential, the OLGA dynamic multiphase flows simulator models time-dependent behavior or transient flow to maximize production potential. For field development planning and feasibility studies, transient modeling is a crucial component. In deepwater, dynamic simulation is an essential component. It is used extensively in both onshore and offshore developments to study transient behavior in wellbores and pipelines. The OLGA simulator allows for transient simulation, which adds an additional dimension to steady-state analyses. It predicts system dynamics such time-varying changes of flow rates, fluid compositions and temperature.
