Integrated Simulators
Most of the dynamic process simulators used in the upstream oil and gas industry have established links to OLGA.
Dynamic Process Simulators with OLGA integration include:
- D-SPICE/Kongsberg
- ASSETT/Kongsberg
- HYSYS/Aspen Tech
- UNISIM/Honeywell
- INDISSS/RSI
- DYNSIM/INVENSYS
Access of 150 simulators has been integrated with OLGA to investigate and show the well, pipeline and process dynamic interaction. From complex field networks to single tie-ins, OLGA combines fast and robust and the high accuracy required for dynamic modeling. Typically, these are:
- Engineering Simulator (ES), including process simulator and OLGA model, used all through the design phase and for preparation through to production start-up.
- Operator Training Simulator (OTS), a process system, control and safety system simulator including instructor station and operator stations. OLGA is used to emulate the dynamic behavior of wells and pipelines. The speed requirements are typically 2x to 5x real-time for the models.
- Production/Pipeline Management System (PMS), Production System Simulator (PSS), Operator Guidance Tool (OGT) or other names of the same application, including process simulators, OLGA model, dedicated GUI, tuning system, various applications and other associated software. See edpm for details. Speed requirements are typically 20x to 200x real-time.
