Perform your slugging analysis more efficiently
Reduce time spent and increase insights with the new mean slug function in Olga 2025.1.
Customer-supported innovation and research has been at the core of the Olga simulator’s development for more than 30 years. Validation of the Olga code with large-scale lab research and the largest database of actual production data from leading E&P companies are key factors in its ongoing development.
Major oil and engineering companies participate in the Olga Verification and Improvement Project (OVIP), which has collected the world’s largest database of lab and field data. This data has been used to validate and adapt the multiphase flow models. Results are continuously implemented in the Olga simulator, improving the core technology to better match the realities of operations.
Additionally, the Horizon project is cosponsored by seven major oil companies, which addresses problems related to the cost-effective development and safe operation of long-distance gas-condensate transport and long-distance transport of oil well streams.
Equinor has, through a technical qualification study, selected SLB for delivering a novel Leak Detection and Virtual Flow Metering solution for the multiphase production network in Johan Sverdrup Phase II. The solution is based on the Olga Online* technology.
Previously, the plotting configuration for a case was discarded whenever the case was closed. Now, this configuration is saved within the case file, allowing plots to be automatically reloaded when the case is reopened. This enhancement applies to all types of 2D plots.
It is now possible to initialize profile and trend plots with an offset applied to the x-axis—length for profile plots and time for trend plots.
We’ve introduced powerful new functionality to the plotting tool that enables you to import and compare external data directly with OLGA simulation results.
The PVT package used for calculating inhibitor properties is specified using the INHIBITORPROPERTIES key under the OPTIONS section. In addition to the previously available options—Simple and Multiflash—two new PVT packages are now supported: Symmetry and PVTSim.
The Lennard-Jones viscosity model in Multiflash is now enabled for Olga compositional tracking simulations.
Previously, the level gradient term was not included in the steady-state pre-processor. Now, it is incorporated into the force balance calculations for oil and water layers within the steady-state pre-processor.
The webinar series targets users of the Olga dynamic multiphase flow simulator and the Pipesim steady-state multiphase flow simulator and associated consumers of the simulation results with the intent to share knowledge of the capabilities and best practice use of these powerful and versatile simulators.
