Network Analysis

Display network property profile along flowpath

The Property Profiles visualization feature allows any network node/branch property to be displayed in a "profile" view (property value versus distance along the flowpath), either between selected nodes or from a selected node to a corresponding network sink. The profile is built for current timestep and can be played with time to see dates and place of abnormal change in pressure/flow.

Plug-in Overview

The Network Analysis plug-in supports "Reservoir to Network" integrated models. It supports different types of integrated models (either ECLIPSE Network or PIPESIM coupled models), represents them in a unified form inside the Petrel interface, and provides an extended set of tools for analysis of surface network behavior, which allows easy identification of network performance bottlenecks.

Specifications

• A Network topology import into the Petrel platform,ed link to simulation results for network entities
• Support of different network input formats and complexity levels
• Wide set of tools for network behavior analysis and comparing static/dynamic network performance characteristics
• Network map view—dynamic playing of node/branch properties in a network graph
• Automatic search of upstream/downstream nodes to simplify building of property plots verus time
• Profile view—display change in network properties along selected flowpath and play it with time

Features

The plug-in supports results from all types of integrated models built with Schlumberger software (IAM software, ECLIPSE Network, and INTERSECT-to-PIPESIM coupling). It allows visualization of network topology directly in the Petrel platform, to display property distribution along the network and to build production plots and profiles for different nodes, taking network hierarchy into account.
