Main Features

Pipeline Modeling

Model proposed and existing gas gathering systems with minimal data input and an easy-to-use method of construction. Pinpoint operational problems such as high frictional pressure losses, liquid holdup and mechanical restrictions.

Well Deliverability

Model deliverability from the wellhead or the sandface for conventional wells. Generate IPR curves from the wellhead and sandface to determine potential for production uplift. Also, capable of modeling transient or coalbed methane deliverability.

Production Forecasting

Forecast future production using a volumetric (tank-type), transient, water drive, connected, geo-pressured, or CBM reservoir model.

Compression & Pipeline Loops

Model capacity of existing compressors, calculate the horsepower required for new compressors and determine optimum compressor locations. Model line loops and flow loops explicitly.

Project Manager & Time Configurations

Make changes to a gathering system in the future to predict the effects of adding new wells, looping pipeline, and/or adding compression. Analyze outputs by means of onscreen displays, bubble maps and various data plots and exports.

Bubble Maps

Use pressure-based bubble maps to quickly identify problem areas. Visualize the impact on field pressure when incorporating development changes such as a proposed drilling program, additional compression, or new pipeline loops.

FAST CBM Integration

Import FAST CBM™ history-matched parameters into FAST Piper™ and forecast multiple wells in a gathering system to optimize tie-in locations, pipeline capacity, and compression.
