Pipesim Simulation ((free)) Jun 2026

Selecting the right artificial lift system is a high-stakes decision. Pipesim allows virtual testing:

The software solves the equation iteratively, accounting for: pipesim simulation

: Simulate different tubing sizes to minimize frictional losses while maintaining enough velocity to lift liquids. Selecting the right artificial lift system is a

For assets producing formation sand, Pipesim’s erosion models (based on DNV or API RP 14E) calculate sand erosion velocities in elbows, tees, and manifold headers. The simulation flags areas where velocity exceeds the erosional limit, preventing catastrophic failure. The simulation flags areas where velocity exceeds the

Single-phase liquid or gas flow is predictable. The real world is messy. Oil, gas, and water travel together at different velocities, slip past each other, and change phase as pressure drops. Pipesim contains over a dozen empirical and mechanistic flow regime maps (e.g., Beggs & Brill, Zhang, Ansari) to calculate pressure loss accurately, whether the flow is bubbly, slug, churn, or annular.
