Integrated with heating capacity
Uses delta calculations from base case
Facility and Pipeline Optimization (FAPO) Model,
Main Menu
FAPO Model - Pipelines
Complex pipeline systems modeled directly in Excel
Schematic display
Gas lift rate varied in pipelines as part of optimization
Step Change Modeling
Successfully applied to Upstream Facilities
Capital vs. Capacity “Step Change” plots are generated.
Crude production forecast is manipulated.
Capital expenditures predicted for each case.
Ideal for screening options for further optimization and analysis
