Description:
OPTAGON is a high-end Monte Carlo simulation tool developed by GL to analyse the performance of complex oil and gas production assets, and has been used in both facility design and operation. When analysing the performance of oil and gas production assets, there are complexities that require specific consideration. These complexities include:
- Multiple revenue streams and product streams
- Tank storage (e.g. LNG import and export facilities)
- Gas substitution arrangements
- Operational strategy (e.g. over-producing to make up for production losses)
- Resource constraints (e.g. repair team limitations, spares holding)
- Variable demand profile (e.g. seasonal) with random fluctuations
- Partial operation states
- System configuration changes and equipment throughput variations
- Conditional logic and equipment dependencies
To overcome such complexities, GL have adopted the Monte Carlo approach for use within OPTAGON.
