Fairwinds experience and state of the art design software have provided assistance to many independent O&G customers with de-bottlenecking reviews, & field optimization studies. In our ongoing commitment to increase your production and enhance our engineering capabilities and deliverables, Fairwinds International owns the PIPESIM production system analysis software. It provides the means to develop a ‘Total Production System Model’ from reservoir through the processing facility.

Individual PIPESIM modules are used for a wide range of analysis including:

• Well Modeling

• Oil well performance analysis
• Enhancing oil well production using nodal analysis
• Gas well performance using a conditional fluid modal

• Artificial Lift

• ESP Design
• Gas lift design: New mandral spacing
• Gas lift design: Current mandral spacing

• Network Modeling

• Looped gathering network
• Gas transmission network
• Water injection system
• Hilly terrain network

• Single Branch Pipeline and Facilities

• Single-phase pipeline
• Multi-phase pipeline
• Oil well performance
• Black oil calibration and performance forecasting
• Subsea tie-back design

Fairwinds has used the PIPESIM program to create fluid models for the analysis of single and multi-phase flows in both single and Network pipelines. We have also done modeling studies of multi-block field developments in an effort to optimize field production. The studies allowed the operators to de-bottleneck, optimize gas lift programs, and foresee how production changes can affect the entire field operation. The studies included multiphase pipelines from numerous platforms, production facilities and all wells in the field down to the perforations. The PIPESIM program allowed us to analyze additions and changes to the existing network from future wells to optimize the required additional connections and detect potential back pressure problems.
