IFP is a research institute covering a large range of businesses in the field of petroleum engineering and has a development strategy in developing simulation
software (thermodynamic, hydrodynamic, unit operation, etc...) using the CAPE-OPEN standards.
IFP is also highly active in the evolution of the CAPE-OPEN standards by participating in different Special Interest Groups (SIGs). IFP has developed a large number of
tools to help end-users to develop their CAPE-OPEN component. One of these tools is a Unit Operation Wizard.
Project description: CO-compliant thermo
CARNOT is a physical thermodynamic system and physical properties package. It can be used as pre-processor or through CAPE-OPEN interfaces. CARNOT is based on IFP
developed / tested / optimized models and is dedicated to Upstream and Downstream.
CARNOT has been validated with Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, COFE, PRO/II and Simulis Thermodynamics.
A Thermodynamic Wizard has been developed and presented at the 4th CAPE-OPEN European Conference in Heidelberg, Germany. It enables the thermodynamic expert to
create a 1.0 CAPE-OPEN compliant Property Package using CARNOT, the IFP thermodynamic package. The use of the Wizard is illustrated
here.
Project description: CO-compliant generic reactor model
FIBER is IFP's generic FIxed BEd Reactor model. Two specific applications were developed for C4 Isomerisation and Selective
Hydrogenation. These applications were created using AspenTech's Unit Operation Wizard and are therefore compliant with CAPE-OPEN 0.93.
FIBER applications have been validated within Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus. Validation in Pro/II is expected soon.
Project description: TINA
TINA is a collaborative project between IFP and TOTAL. Objectives are to develop CAPE-OPEN Unit Operations in the field of flow assurance. Therefore, two different kinds
of Pipe Unit operations have been developed:
Static pipe
- Flow under steady-state conditions is solved through the whole pipe
- Fully compositional calculations are performed
- 2-phase and 3-phase hydrodynamic correlations are used
- Thermal exchanges with the surrounding environment are taken into account
- Several pipe insulation options are available
Transient pipe
- DFM: Drift Flux Model
- NPW: No Pressure Wave model
- Main features
- Mass, momentum and energy balances are solved
- Models are fully compositional
- 2 phase and 3 phase hydrodynamic module has been developed to ensure continuity and derivability of hydrodynamic functions for robust calculations
Furthermore a Simple Transient PI (Productivity Index) module has been developed that correlates the well production rate to the drawdown.
TINA applications have been validated within Aspen Hysys, Aspen Plus, PRO/II, COFE and INDISS especially for transient calculations, with also different
CAPE-OPEN Thermodynamic Systems such as MultiFlash, Simulis Thermodynamics, TEA.
