Digital Twins for Oil and Gas Production

Learn the basics of creating a digital twin of an oil and gas production system in Simscape™. Simscape enables you to create physics-driven models by simply assembling a schematic of existing components from prebuilt libraries. You can calibrate the model to match your asset, thus creating a digital twin that can be used for simulation and optimization. A gas dehydration facility is used as an example.

Highlights

- Modeling a gas dehydration plant with process fluids (natural gas)

- Connecting Simulink and MATLAB with REFPROP for working with thermophysical properties of chemical components

- Calibrating the model to plant data to create digital twins for adsorption and absorption processes
