Pigging Time calculation on Crude line

[sathishsusa]

Dear Experts,
I'm currently working on an upstream oil and gas project where we are conducting a BIDI pigging operation on a 16" MOL line that spans 50 km. I need help creating an Excel sheet to calculate the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for the pigging operation based on the following details:

Pipe diameter: 16" OD (406.4 mm)
Wall thickness: Minimum 15.9 mm, Maximum 30.2 mm
Length: 50 km
Gas-Oil Ratio (GOR): 353
Sealine Pressure: 34.32 BAR
Arrival Pressure: 26 BAR
Flow Rate: 19500 BBL/DAY
Pig Launched Time: 02-08-2024
Pig Arrival Time: ??

Could you help me with this challenge?

Have you missed the bit about the total liquid flow now being only 7214 bpd? (5 Aug 17:55)

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Yes. Didn't see that change.

Slipped on the new line length of 70km. Calculated travel time, by my estimates, is now approx 160hours.

Saythish,

If you ever do actual runs, please post your results.
