1.1 IntroductionWe are pleased to introduce the PIPESIM Single Branch Extension to

HYSYS - the first and only commercial coupling between petroleum and

process simulation. This extension is a result of a collaborative

development between Hyprotech and Baker Jardine. Together we are

working on a vision of Total Hydrocarbon Asset Management.

Examining the sensitivity of production and process systems

simultaneously or performing production system optimization can

yield significant production benefits, sometimes as high as 15%

increases in production. We at Hyprotech and Baker Jardine aim to bring

you the commercial software tools to achieve these gains.

Hyprotech and Baker Jardine have announced an alliance aimed at

producing the first fully integrated, commercial Production System

Model. In this, the first product from our alliance, Baker Jardines

industry leading wellbore, tubing, and flowline simulation software,

PIPESIM, has been coupled into Hyprotechs HYSYS simulation

environment, allowing for the development of models from well

description through the entire process production facilities sharing

common PVT descriptions from the HYSYS thermodynamics.

Existing PIPESIM production models of wells, flowlines, and risers can

be imported into the HYSYS environment and used seamlessly as aHYSYS unit operation using the power of the PIPESIM engine in the

background. This first release is limited to a serial string of devices

within the PIPESIM model where there is no change in composition; all

composition changes are handled within the HYSYS environment.

However, one can add multiple PIPESIM extensions to any HYSYS

simulation.

1.2 How This Manual Is OrganizedThis user manual is a comprehensive guide that details all the

procedures you need to work with the PIPESIM Link extension. To help

you learn how to use PIPESIM Link efficiently, this manual thoroughly

describes the views and capabilities of the PIPESIM Link as well as

outlining the procedural steps needed for running the extension. The

basics of building a simple PIPESIM Link model is explored in the

tutorial (example) problem. The case is presented as a logical sequence

of steps that outline the basic procedures needed to build a PIPESIM

Link case.

This manual also outlines the relevant parameters for defining the entireextension and its environment. Each view is defined on a page-by-page

basis to give you a complete understanding of the data requirements for

the components and the capabilities of the extension.

The PIPESIM Link Users Guide does not detail HYSYS procedures and

assumes that you are familiar with the HYSYS environment and

conventions. If you require more information on working with HYSYS,

please see HYSYS Manuals.Here you will find all the information you

require to set up a case and work efficiently within the simulation

environment. If you require more information regarding PIPESIM 2000

please refer to the PIPESIM 2000 reference manuals.

3.1 IntroductionThePIPESIM Link Extensionis a unit operation for using the PIPESIM

software package used to simulate pipeline systems within the HYSYS

framework. The PIPESIM Link functions in the same manner as any

HYSYS unit operation or application in terms of its layout and data entry

methods. The view consists of 3 worksheet tabs. At the bottom of each

worksheet is a status bar which guides data entry and indicates required

information, as well as indicating the status of the PIPESIM simulation

once the calculation has been initialized.

PIPESIM has a comprehensive suite of methods and correlations for

modeling single and multi-phase flow in production equipment and iscapable of accurately simulating a wide range of conditions and

situations. You have the option of using the default correlations for the

PIPESIM calculations, or specifying your own set from the list of

available methods for each parameter. Any change to the PIPESIM

models must be done from within the PIPESIM environment.

PIPESIM is fully compatible with all of the gas, liquid, and gas/liquid

fluid packages in HYSYS. You can combine PIPESIM and HYSYS objects

in any configuration during the construction of a HYSYS flowsheet.

PIPESIM objects can be inserted at any point in the flowsheet where

single or multi-phase pipe flow effects must be accounted for in theprocess simulation.

3-4 PIPESIM Link Features

3-4

3.2 PIPESIM Link FeaturesThe PIPESIM Link extension is functionally equivalent to a HYSYS

flowsheet operation. It is installed in a flowsheet and connected to

material streams. Unlike a standard pipe segment an energy stream is

not supported. All PIPESIM Link Extension properties are accessed and

changed through a set of property views that are simple and convenient

to use. Chief among these, and the starting point for the definition of a

PIPESIM Link Operation, is the main PIPESIM Link view.

The main PIPESIM Link view is where the inlet and outlet material

streams are specified. The Inlet Object and Outlet Object fields are read

only. These fields are blank when the extension is first installed. Oncethe PIPESIM Link model has been selected, via the Model page, the

names of the boundary objects within the PIPESIM Link model will be

displayed

The following specifications are supported in addition to the inlet

temperature that must always be specified.

Inlet flow and inlet pressure.

Inlet flow and outlet pressure.

Inlet pressure and outlet pressure.

The HYSYS specifications will always override any specifications made

within the PIPESIM model.

The following restrictions may surprise experienced HYSYS users:

An outlet flow specification is not the same as an inlet flowspecification since the PIPESIM Link model may manipulate theflow such that inlet does not equal outlet flow.

Negative flowrate cases are not supported for modeling reverseflow.

3.3 Adding the PIPESIM Link

Adding a PIPESIM Link Extension to a HYSYS CaseCarry out the following steps to add a PIPESIM Link Operation to a

HYSYS case:

1. Your first task is to create a HYSYS case suitable for the addition ofthe PIPESIM Link Extension. As a minimum, you must create a case

with a fluid package and two material streams.

2. With the case open, select Add Operation command from theFlowsheetmenu. In the UnitOps view, select the Extensionsradio

button and select the PIPESIM Linkfrom the Available UnitOperations group. Click theAddbutton.

3. Select material streams from the Inlet and Outlet drop-down lists onthe Connectionspage of the PIPESIM Link view. If you have not yetinstalled these streams in the case, they can be created by directlyentering their names on the Connectionspage. To define the streamconditions, right-click on the name and selectViewcommand fromthe Object Inspect menu.

Following these steps allows you to complete the installation of aPIPESIM Link Extension. Once the calculations are complete the Object

Status bar will be green and state OK.

Figure 3.1

For further details oncreating a HYSYS case,refer to the HYSYS manuals

3-6 PIPESIM Link User Interface

3-6

3.4 PIPESIM Link User InterfaceThe PIPESIM Link user interface is completely integrated into the

HYSYS environment and conforms to all HYSYS usage conventions for

operations and data entry. If you are an experienced user of HYSYS, you

will already be familiar with all of the features of the PIPESIM Link user

interface. If you are a new user, you should begin by studying the HYSYS

Reference Manuals, since you will need to learn more about HYSYS

before you can use the PIPESIM Link Extension.

Like all HYSYS property views, PIPESIM Link property view allow access

to all of the information associated with a particular item. The view has

a number of tabs and on each tab are pages of related parameters.

Figure 3.2


25/48


3-7

3.5 Main PIPESIM Link ViewThe main PIPESIM Link view is the first view that appears when adding

a PIPESIM Link operation to a HYSYS flowsheet. This view provides you

with a place to enter the data that defines the basic characteristics of a

PIPESIM Link operation.

The main PIPESIM Link view is the starting point for the definition of

any PIPESIM Link operation. When you select Add Operation command

in the Flowsheet menu from the menu bar and then select PIPESIM Link

extension, the main PIPESIM Link view will appear and be ready to

accept input. You must then select each of the tabs on the main PIPESIM

Link view and complete them as required.

Figure 3.3

3.5.1 Design TabThis tab is used to define the connections between the HYSYS

simulation case and the PIPESIM Link operation, to import and export

PIPESIM cases and to view the basis for tabular physical properties.

Connection PageThe Connection page allows you to select the input and output material

streams using the drop-down list or by directly entering new material

streams. You can also enter a name for the operation using theName

field.

TheIgnore this UnitOp During Calculationscheckbox can be checked if

you want to disable the concurrent calculation of intermediate results

during data entry.

Model PageFrom the Model page you are able to import, export, and edit a PIPESIM

model.

Figure 3.4

This setting is recommendedif you have a slow computerand data processing isslowing down the entryprocess or if you want to delaythe calculations until you haveentered all of your data.


27/48


3-9

The Original PIPESIM Model field is read only and echoes the original

path and file name of the model that is imported via the Import button.

It is important to note that this field is for documentation purposes only

since the model is embedded within the HYSYS model rather than

referenced at the location in this field. It may be empty if the model has

been created from within the link, rather than by importing an existing

PIPESIM model.

The Import button allows you to import an existing PIPESIM model.

Clicking the Import button opens the standard Window file picker view

that allows model selection. Only single branch models identified by the

*.bps extension can be selected.

The Edit Model button loads and runs the PIPESIM2000 GUI with the

current model. If a model has not been imported then the PIPESIM2000GUI contains an empty model. When the GUI is loaded, a work file

name appears in the caption bar. The model can be freely edited, but in

order for changes to be reflected in the HYSYS flowsheet, it must be

saved under the same file name.

Figure 3.5


28/48


3-10

The PIPESIM2000 GUI appears modally, so HYSYS does not continue its

calculation until the GUI is closed. The PIPESIM model is saved with the

HYSYS case and not recorded stand alone.

The Export button allows you to make a copy of the PIPESIM model

reflecting any changes made since importing it. Clicking the Export

button opens the standard Windows file picker view that allows

selection of the file name. Only single branch models identified by the

*.bps extension can be selected. Notice that only the configuration of the

pipes and nodes will be changed. The source composition data is not

changed to reflect the current composition of the feed stream in the

HYSYS flowsheet.

PVT PageThe PIPESIM model solves using tabular physical properties generated

by the chosen HYSYS property package. This table defines the extents

and granularity of the table. The table is regenerated using the current

feed composition each time the link resolves. A maximum of 20 pressure

and 20 temperature points can be specified.

Because the PVT table corresponds to a single composition, the

PIPESIM model may not contain any unit operations that change the

compositions of the fluid. Thus the following restrictions apply:

Vapour/Liquid separators are not supported.

Well completions cannot use gas lift.

If any of these constraints are violated the status bar gives an

appropriate indication and the link will not attempt to solve.


29/48


3-11

The Set to Default button sets the values of the pressure and

temperature points to correspond to the internal PIPESIM default

values. Calculations does not start unless the data is in ascending order.

Use the Sort button if this is not the case.

The Export button exports the PVT table file for stand alone use with

PIPESIM.

Figure 3.6

3.5.2 Performance TabThe Performance tab contains two pages that allow you to view a table

of the profile data and to view the traditional PIPESIM output.

Profiles PageThe Profiles page displays a tabular view of the profile data for the

following key variables vs. axial distance along the pipe: Mass Flow,

Pressure, Temperature, Holdup (actual volumetric) and Velocity.

Figure 3.7

Summary File.

Pipe profiles can also be viewed by clicking the PSPLOT button on the

PIPESIM page. The PSPLOT button loads and run the PIPESIM plotting

utility.

Figure 3.8


32/48


3-14

The PIPESIM plotting utility can be used to display any of the profile

results that have been calculated by PIPESIM.

The PSPLOT appears modally, so HYSYS does not continue its

calculations until PSPLOT is closed.

4.1 IntroductionThe purpose of this procedure is to insert a PIPESIM pipeline into

HYSYS that has a series of connecting components. In this example, you

will go through the steps to importing a PIPESIM model into HYSYS. All

units of measurement in this example are SI, but feel free to change

these to whatever unit system you are accustomed to using

For this case, a simple PIPESIM pipeline consisting of a fluid source, a

tubing, a choke, a flowline, an operator, a second flowline, and a riser

will be imported into HYSYS. The figure below shows the PIPESIM

piping schematic of the system.
