Desarrollo de algoritmos para el dimensionamiento de una Facilidad Temprana de Producción (EPF) en Microsoft Excel

Abstract

Chapter 1, the problem description is presented, the proposed solution is detailed, objectives are presented; methodology to be used is explained. Chapter 2 describes the symbols used to read diagrams P&ID. Correlations used to determine the PVT properties of fluids are exposed. Algorithms and equations are described to determine pressure losses caused by multiphase flow in vertical and horizontal pipe. The equations used to determine pressure losses caused by mechanical elements are shown. EPF´s equipments are detailed and algorithms to size them too. Chapter 3, the two programs are presented: "Program sizing equipments EPF" and "Program monitoring and control of an EPF". Proceed to use the first program to design the equipments. Then, proceed to control and monitor variables flow and pressure by equipment/ path on different lines to verify the income of fluids between equipments. Chapter 4, the operation manual of each program is detailed. Chapter 5, the economic study of the project is carried out based on different alternatives and scenarios, and determines which scenario is better. Chapter 6 the conclusions and recommendations are presented.
