North Sea operator engage BPT in production troubleshooting

BPT has been involved in an operational task force with one of the main production assets at the Norwegian Continental Shelf experiencing significant bottlenecks in exporting the produced hydrocarbons within specifications.

“BPT using our in-depth production experience and advanced simulation applications to assess the root-cause of bottlenecks and testing out possible improvements in a virtual simulation environment, being calibrated with the production data for the operating facility. Close collaboration with customer key personnel is instrumental to achieve best possible problem-solving", informs Knut Erik Spilling.

Unique domain, process and simulation expertise

BPT has a unique combination of cross-discipline domain experts covering all aspects of production, process facilities, control, communication & automation as well as subject matter experts in steady state and dynamic process simulation as well as multiphase flow simulators. These experts cover a wide range from field development, process design, commissioning, field startup and operations.

An unrivaled range of process simulation and flow assurance tools

BPT facilitates a comprehensive toolbox of market-leading process simulators and multiphase flow models, value-creating Apps, digital engineering & lifecycle simulator framework, solutions for real-time systems, training simulator environment as well as workflows and standards. When assessing the needs at initiation of new studies, the fit-for-purpose tools and approaches are defined in coordination with the customer.

Project references

BPT has carried out more than 300 projects worldwide for the oil & gas industry.

The projects have a great variety and span from process design, process optimization, front-end-loading field development, commissioning, offshore work, operational troubleshooting, production optimization, sensor validation, simulation services, integrated simulators, control system check-out simulators, training simulators, online simulators, lifecycle simulators, digital production twins, operational decision support, training courses, etc.

Over the last couple of years, BPT’s domain knowledge and expertise within advanced lifecycle simulation has resulted in several BPT projects within the Green Energy segment. We enhance existing or develop new unit operations as extensions to the market-leading process simulators like HYSYS, UniSim and Petro-SIM for challenging and complex process facilities. Often this also includes reimplementation or new thermodynamic property and equation of state packages.
