Analisis Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure pada Jaringan Pipeline PT Tenggara untuk Menunjang Rencana Reaktivasi Sumur

Abstract

One of the efforts to increase oil and gas production is to reactivation of old wells. The reactivation of wells will increase the flow rate of production from a field. A pipeline must have its own strength and resistance to pressure or commonly referred to as MAOP (Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure) where the pipeline will leak if it is passed through a flow rate with pressure that exceeds the pipeline's capability limit. In this research, MAOP analysis will be carried out in the PT Tenggara using the Multiphase Flow Simulator, so that the fluid pressure in the pipeline will be known after reactivation of the well, and the maximum permissible fluid flow rate will also be known. The method used is to simulate the reactivation of 6 wells. From the simulation, it is known that by reactivating 6 wells, the pipeline in PT Tenggara is still safe (no leaks occur). The production flow rate during well reactivation is still below the maximum permissible flow rate, and the fluid pressure in the pipeline is still below MAOP. And by reactivating the 6 wells, the company will experience an increase in oil production of 238.77 BOPD, and gas production of 474.22 Mscf/d.
