Optimization of Oil and Gas Multi Stage Separators Pressure to Increase Stock Tank Oil

چکیده
A computer simulator is written to optimize the conditions of oil and gas separators using Hysys and Matlab software. Off gases in some wellhead equipment of south of Iran are burnt in flare. In the present paper, the separators of one of these wellheads are simulated. By changing different variables such as the plus fraction splitting methods and the temperature of separators the condition with the least difference with empirical data of crude oil separator test was selected based on which the optimal pressure of separators which minimize total GOR function was calculated. The results show thatusing oftheCavett-Edmister method leads to the lowest value of error andtemperature changes have little effect of the separators conditions.

A Novel Approach to Obtaining the Optimum Pressure and Stages of Separators
Nowadays, the increasing demand for energy in the world is one of the main concerns for energy supply. In fact, the required energy can be obtained by increasing the production rate of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. However, improving the efficiency of the equipment and facilities might have a significant impact on production from hydrocarbon resources. With respect to this subject, ...

Virtually all of the published correlations for solution gas-oil ratios for pressures at and below bubblepoint pressures suffer from two major deficiencies. First, calculated values of solution gas-oil ratios do not match the concave up, point of inflection, concave down shapes as pressure declines below the bubblepoint that are evident in experimental data, especially at high initial solution ...
