PortablePIPEPHASE9112: A Powerful Tool for Pipeline Network Design
PortablePIPEPHASE9112 is a software application that allows users to design, optimize, and simulate pipeline networks for oil and gas production. It is based on the PIPEPHASE software developed by AVEVA, which is a proven solution for fluid flow design[^2^]. PortablePIPEPHASE9112 can run on any Windows device without installation, making it convenient and flexible for field engineers and operators.
With PortablePIPEPHASE9112, users can model complex pipeline systems with multiple branches, loops, compressors, valves, pumps, and other components. They can also perform steady-state and transient analysis, sensitivity studies, scenario planning, and optimization of pipeline performance and economics. PortablePIPEPHASE9112 can handle single-phase and multiphase flow, as well as different fluid properties and equations of state.
PortablePIPEPHASE9112 is a valuable tool for pipeline network design because it can help users to:
- Improve profitability and efficiency by finding the optimal pipeline configuration and operating conditions.
- Reduce capital and operating costs by minimizing pipe diameters, pressure losses, and energy consumption.
- Enhance safety and reliability by avoiding pipeline failures, leaks, slugs, and surges.
- Support decision making by comparing different design alternatives and evaluating their impact on production and revenue.

In this article, we will show you how to use PortablePIPEPHASE9112 to design a simple pipeline network for a gas field. We will also demonstrate some of the features and capabilities of the software, such as steady-state and transient analysis, sensitivity studies, and optimization.
Step 1: Create a New Project
To start a new project in PortablePIPEPHASE9112, you need to launch the software and click on the "New" button on the toolbar. You will be prompted to enter a project name and a description. For this example, we will name our project "Gas Field Pipeline Network".
After creating a new project, you will see the main window of PortablePIPEPHASE9112, which consists of three main areas: the Project Explorer, the Workspace, and the Properties Panel. The Project Explorer shows the hierarchy of the project elements, such as pipelines, nodes, components, and cases. The Workspace is where you can draw and edit your pipeline network diagram. The Properties Panel displays the properties and parameters of the selected element in the Workspace or the Project Explorer.
Step 2: Define Fluid Properties
Before designing your pipeline network, you need to define the fluid properties that will be used in the simulation. PortablePIPEPHASE9112 allows you to choose from different fluid models and equations of state, such as Peng-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, or Black Oil. You can also enter your own fluid data or import it from external sources.
To define fluid properties, you need to select "Fluids" from the Project Explorer and click on the "Add" button on the toolbar. You will be asked to enter a fluid name and a description. For this example, we will name our fluid "Gas Field Fluid".
After adding a new fluid, you will see a list of fluid properties in the Properties Panel. You can edit these properties by typing in the values or using the buttons and sliders. For this example, we will use the Peng-Robinson equation of state and enter the following values for our fluid:
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Molar Mass | 18 kg/kmol |
| Critical Temperature | 190 K |
| Critical Pressure | 46 bar |
| Critical Volume | 0.002 m3/kmol |
| Acentric Factor | 0.01 |
| Binary Interaction Coefficients | 0 (for all components) |
| Molar Composition | Methane: 90%, Ethane: 5%, Propane: 3%, Nitrogen: 2% |
You can also view the phase envelope and other properties of your fluid by clicking on the "View" button on the toolbar.
