Establish the appropriate PVT model for the fluid system to be modelled.
Dont assume it is always P-R If inheriting reservoir fluid characterisation, check validity for process conditions to be modelled For guidance, consult the simulation/optimisation COI
For operational models, process specifications should reflect actual control setpoints. Process specifications should be made only once in any simulation.
e.g. The HP separator pressure may also define the required outlet pressure from associated LP compression.
Optimisation
Use of a numerical solver together with a system model to advise strategy for improved operational performance.
Advice must be able to be implemented in an appropriate time frame.
Can be an on-line or off-line capability On-line, closed loop implementation almost always in conjunction with advanced control
Optimisation
In E&P an asset or system model normally crosses engineering discipline boundaries
