Grit Line Fill 2022Simulated the required discharge pressure for the forecasted flow. Determined what the LACT pump can doRan the model with pig and water train to determine the required flow rate and pressure at inletVerified current equipment is sufficient to flush and fill the line.OMOG 2021-2022Osprey gathering system is a complicated system with mainly 120 psig trunk line pressure due to contractual obligationThere are two large diameter lines looped and active but the smaller trunk lines cannot support high rates and are under utilizedTo accommodate the forecasted flow here, strategic placement of DRA skids are neededThrough simulation of probabilistic flow model of numerous permutations, a worst case flow is generated and forecast simulation was based on thatCarlsbad West/South gathering 2022Carlsbad West and South gathering is also another complicated easily 60+ leases total with 300 ANSIWest is relatively empty and going uphill so a backpressure control valve is needed but no DRA skid is neededSouth is very dense at a particular lateral and needs a skid at the farthest end but does not need a back pressure control valve since it goes downhill.There are many producers wanting to tie into these two systems and I combined their production forecasts to generate a transfer forecast to make sure we capture all volumesParticularly while certain leases are weaning others may peak and maximize the asset usage4”x6” relief is set at both of these inlet piping downstream of the pig receivers which should be sufficientCatarina South gathering is the first to be digitally validated using intran code in SPSThis means the program pulls raw pressure and flow data and runs it through the model and compares the actual pressures versus simulated to give a sense of what is causing the pressure drops and if everything is includedModel lab was used to generate cases with varying DRA permutations to determine which DRA injection rates generate the actual pressur
