Schlumberger OLGA 2022

The OLGA dynamic multiphase flow simulator models time-dependent behaviors, or transient flow, to maximize production potential. Transient modeling is an essential component for feasibility studies and field development design. Dynamic simulation is essential in deepwater and is used extensively in both offshore and onshore developments to investigate transient behavior in pipelines and wellbores.

Transient simulation with the OLGA simulator provides an added dimension to steady-state analyses by predicting system dynamics such as time-varying changes in flow rates, fluid compositions, temperature, solids deposition and operational changes.

Maximize production and minimize risk

Key flow simulation applications

The OLGA simulator enables key flow simulation applications, including

  • liquids handling
  • sizing separators and slug catchers
  • managing solids
  • simulating key operational procedures including start-up, shut-down, and pigging
  • modeling for contingency planning
  • assessing environmental risk in complex deepwater drilling environments.

OLGA 2022 Features
Improved functionality for pure CO2

Several improvements for existing CO2 capabilities have been implemented—including an improved table for single component CO2 option, improvements for the viscosity model, and priority fixes for tuning of mass transfer rate for a single-component model.

LOw pressure
Improved handling of low-pressure situations?

It is now possible to use a special low-pressure handling feature. When activated, if below a defined pressure threshold, the OLGA simulator calculates the fluid properties and flashing with special consideration to avoid numerical problems.

Injection rate calculations
New mass-based option of injection rate calculations

OLGA 2020.2 introduces a new key in the inflow performance relationship (IPR) keywords. The key can be used to select how to convert the volume flow rate of reservoir fluid at standard conditions to in situ injection rate and improves usability for such scenarios.

OLGA – pressure drop prediction
Better prediction of pressure drop

The HD flow model has been updated to improve its accuracy for gas condensate production systems. Extensive improved pressure-drop predictions at high gas rates for low liquid loading.

OLGA – water accumulation
More accurate water accumulation?

The momentum mixing across the oil/water interface has been reduced to increase oil-water slip and increase water accumulation for gravity dominated flow at high gas flow rates.

OLGA Slug Initiation
New slug initiation model

The slug initiation model is extended to include initiation of slug bubbles in bubbly flow improving prediction of slug dynamics in liquid dominated systems.

OLGA – pig modeling
Improved pig modeling capabilities

Improved pig model capabilities to simulate complex pigging scenarios involving long traveling distances, complicated pipeline geometry as well as multiple pig trains with large pressure and/or liquid discontinuities across the pigs.

OLGA – HA model
HA model used for aqueous phase

The CSMA High Accuracy (HA) model for aqueous phase properties is used in OLGA Compositional Tracking improving accuracy when modelling aqueous component mixtures.

OLGA – Symmetry integration
OLGA and Symmetry integration

The integration between OLGA and Symmetry enables integration between upstream and process operations. High performance communication yields efficient data transfer and rapid insight.
