Ngawha OEC 4 Expansion FCRS Process Modelling - New Zealand
Thorndon Cook undertook two phase modelling for the original concept proposed for the 31.25MW Ngawha OEC-4 expansion whereby fluid from the production wells would be transported through a 995m long two phase pipeline to a vertical cyclone separator located near the power plant.
The Beggs and Brill method was used for modelling the two phase flow regime and pressure loss in the pipeline as this procedure is well suited for calculating two phase flow properties in inclined pipes. The Watson methodology was used to model the formation and properties of slug flow in the piping whereby stratified flow is tested for instability to small disturbances and then analysed in the unstable region to find if slug flow is possible.
The modelling indicated that slug flow in the riser to the vertical separator could not be avoided. A horizontal separator located at the production wellpad was recommended as the appropriate solution.
Additional services provided included:
- Optimisation of wellhead, steam and brine pipe sizes.
- Assistance with cost estimation for potential scope adjustments.
- Review of Functional Control Description
- Optimisation of insulation thickness.
- Review of slug loading.
