The role of dynamic simulation in pipeline field applications
In gas transmission pipeline and oil/gas field applications, gas compression is a key operation. Knowledge of the behavior of a gas compression system during upset conditions is required to evaluate the proposed compressor anti-surge control system, gas relief safety system and any future expansion and modifications. Dynamic simulation is a good engineering tool for such analyses. In this paper, a gas compression system is modeled which consists of eight identical parallel export compressors cascaded to four identical parallel reinjection compressors. The results of dynamic simulation for various what if scenarios are presented., The peak pressure of each header and amount of relieved gas were evaluated for the gas relief safety system. The surge margin of each compressor and other pertinent variables were analyzed for the compressor anti-surge control system.
