Developed by Schlumberger (now SLB), Pipesim is a steady-state, multiphase flow simulator designed to model, analyze, and optimize oil and gas production systems. From the reservoir sand face to the process facility, Pipesim simulation allows engineers to visualize pressure, temperature, and flow regimes across complex networks.
Run a sensitivity on tubing diameter. A common mistake is using the same 4.5" tubing for every well. Run the simulation:
: The software excels at modeling complex gathering networks, helping operators identify bottlenecks and optimize pressures across multi-well pads and shared surface facilities.
Instead of assuming fixed IPR curves, couple Pipesim with a reservoir simulator (Petrel RE or ECLIPSE) for time-dependent analysis. This reveals how rate changes in one well affect reservoir pressure and thus performance of neighboring wells.
