Gas Pipeline Software 3

[REN]

I need to do a study of a large and complex nat. gas pipeline system - make that a very large and very complex system. Any suggestions for software I should check out? Anybody got any qualms/praise for the Stoner model/s?<br>

You might try GasWorks. Bradley Bean puts it out in Colarado. I have been using it and it works very well and does alot with ease of input.<br>

For simple steady state analysis, you could try out PIPESIM by Baker Jardine&nbsp;&nbsp;and if you wish to do a more rigorous transient analysis, there is OLGA 2000 by Scandpower.<br><br>I work in Flow Assurance for a deepwater Pipeline engineering company and these two are the tools we use.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are also recognised as the oil & gas industry standards.

Paul, I used to work for Stoner here in Houston. I have also been a client of theirs at The Williams Companies, Enron, and Shell. I have used both steady state and transient software from Stoner Associates, Gregg Engineering, SSI, and LiqConsult and can say that Stoner's is easily the most rigorous. I have example after example of it's better (although not always by much) results. It is also the most versatile and powerful.

Typically, the only real consideration is cost. You can rent or buy any of these software packages, but they are typically expensive.

I know this is a really late response, but I just found this forum 5 minutes ago!
