Abstract:
Piping systems are the most important transmission method in oil industry that help distribution of the natural resources over different regions. This thesis was prepared in order to give detailed characterization of pipeline design process from the new Rawat field to Al-Jabalain CPF.
This study focus on determining the optimum route and diameter by using PIPESIM simulation and GIS technique. The design process is significantly impacted by the fluid properties , geological factors ,pumping system , pressure drop in the pipeline , selected material , environment and regulation , and took into account the expected problems that may face the design and construction phase.
The design results conclude two routes scenarios. The first scenario is an ideal straight line that does not consider any design factors. The second scenario (real situation) took into account all the factors affecting the route establishing and the obstacles faced, an estimation of the cost for thereal scenario pipeline was done.
