Production and Facilities Using Aspen HYSYS^® Upstream

Course Number:

EHY351

Duration:

Objectives

·         Use the capabilities of Aspen HYSYS Upstream to enable shared workflow between production modeling and facilities modeling

Course Benefits

·         Use the same oil modeling tools in Aspen HYSYS that are typical in production engineering software (e.g. black oil models, creating hypothetical components from PVT lab data, model tuning using bubble point data)

·         Use the black oil translator to transition back and forth between black oil models and component-based oil models within a single Aspen HYSYS flowsheet

·         Perform Component Lumping and Production Allocation using new tools in Aspen HYSYS Upstream

·         Solve system wide debottleneck and optimization problems by tightly integrating hydraulic models with your facilities models using Aspen Hydraulics

·         Solve system wide problems by tightly integrating your existing hydraulic models built in Schlumberger’s PIPESIM with your Aspen HYSYS facilities models

Who Should Attend

·         Anyone interested in the modeling of upstream production processes, including production engineers, facilities and process engineers

·         Individuals wanting to extend the skills gained in  EHY101 Aspen HYSYS Process Modeling course by learning how to use the Upstream capabilities in Aspen HYSYS

Approach

·         Instruction on basic topics is supplemented by useful tips for tuning your models

·         Instructor-guided demonstrations of product features

·         Hands-on workshops that apply learned concepts

·         Detailed course notes and reference materials
