Oil & Gas Separator Simulation & Performance Evaluation

Performed a comprehensive 3-phase separator simulation and performance evaluation using Aspen HYSYS for an oil & gas production separator.

The project included:

Developing and validating the fluid characterization using detailed PVT and hydrocarbon composition data.

Simulating Gas / Oil / Water separation under the specified operating conditions.

Evaluating separator gas-handling and liquid-handling capacity.

Performing Souders-Brown gas capacity calculations and liquid residence-time checks.

Assessing oil/water separation performance and phase behavior.

Comparing the existing separator dimensions and operating conditions against the calculated requirements.

Preparing a concise technical assessment report with simulation results, calculations, conclusions, and engineering recommendations.

Key Case: 4,000 BPD total liquid, 3,000 BPD oil, 1,000 BPD water, and 0.5 MMSCFD gas.

Software: Aspen HYSYS

Deliverables: Simulation model, engineering calculations, performance evaluation, and technical assessment report.
