Outlines
Two most important factors of depressuring gas: flare capacity and time efficiency
both related to the gas outlet volumetric flow rate
Production
stopped advantage
Higher gas outlet Lower depress time Higher risk of flare
flow rate more efficient deterioration
disadvantage
Optimisation of depressurisation time and gas outlet rate needed to provide the
most advantageous depressurisation system
using and

Strength: simple and efficient
Weakness: low in accuracy; too many assumptions used, such as zero pressure drop
Highly recommended for the fast prediction
OLGA
Strength: automatic, high in accuracy, and considering the pressure drop
Weakness: inefficient (due to too many inputs to be entered)
Highly recommended for the accurate and long-term prediction
THEREFORE:
Many studies

performed to segments of pipeline new pipeline
revive the but the existing pipeline is unfit for Regarding:
wells service due to corrosion
Low wellhead pressure
(correlates ΔP and IPR)
Slugging effect and
handling
sea bed
Economy concern
Pipeline flow modeling is using OLGA to simulate the flow regime and pressure profile
