The following figure shows the physical configuration of this system superimposed on a topographie map, The system consists of four wells distributed over an area of approximately 2,0 square km, connected to a gas plant by a network of pipelines. tee ‘The gas in this case is varied; both sour and sweet gases are being combined in the pipeline, as well as @ gas condensate mixture. A Mixer combines all ofthe incoming gas streams from the outlying wes into one common header. Flowlines extending from this central site to each of the individual wells are modeled in Aspen HYSYS using the Pipe Segment operation. Since the plant is located in an area with mixed terrain, the elevation changes must be accounted for in the Pipe Segments. Additional Mixer operations are used to model mixing points where flows from remote wells are combined in common lines.
