A new optimization algorithm called sperm whale algorithm (SWA) is proposed to solve
production optimization problems. This algorithm is based on the sperm whale's lifestyle …

To obtain the high-quality crude oil from the surface processing plants, oil and gas
separation plants parameters need to be optimized, by minimizing the intermediate …

Abstract A Floating, Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) plant is a high-energy
consumer (from a few to several hundreds of megawatts). Since a number of parameters …

The pressure drop in tubing constitutes a major part of the total pressure drop. However, its
calculation is very complex due to the possibility of presence of multiple phases. A number …

Early production in oil fields can cause problems related to oil specifications in the existing
process unit, especially in the stabilization tower. This study aims to improve the …

Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) platforms are great energy consumers.
Reservoir fluid composition and operating parameters of FPSOs are known to be important …

In this paper, a detailed evaluation of the open source process simulator DWSIM is
presented. Using a previously published simulation model of an oil and gas separation …

In this article, the optimization of a realistic oil and gas separation plant has been studied.
Using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and rigorous process simulations, surrogate models …

Dry weight and footprint minimization of FPSO processing plants designed for a high CO2 oil
field was conducted by integrating sensitivity analysis and genetic algorithm-based …

Maximizing oil recovery of the gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) is intended to increase
revenue in the oil and gas industry. The GOSP is an integral part of the petroleum industry …
