Abstract:

Pipeline transportation of associated gas or gas condensate which content medium and heavy components form liquid phase in operating condition, especially environment temperature change drastically impact adversely to gas pipeline operating activities. Heavy component gas is called rich gas which forms liquid phase in operating condition, liquid content increase gradually in conditional environmental temperature decrease. Pipeline transportation at low flow rate causes slug regime which adversely impact on inlet pressure of gas pipeline. This paper shows the result of solution for efficiency improvement BRS - Algeria rich gas transportation by multiphase simulation model to evaluate and select options for minimizing slug in transporting gas, and adjusting process parameter fit for existing facilities of BRS field. The result of study is periodic pigging measure to push liquid phase out of the pipeline and increase the efficiency of transporting associated gas BRS - Algeria
