Application of real-time dynamic simulation for safe and efficient operation of the Nam Con Son two-phase pipeline
Abstract
This paper presents the real-time dynamic simulation solution applied by Nam Con Son Gas Pipeline Company (NCSP) to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the 371 km two-phase pipeline (gas and condensate). The simulation software MSI, developed based on the OLGA platform, has been used by NCSP to monitor liquid holdup, predict operating scenarios, detect leaks, and optimize pipeline operations. The successful use of this solution has enabled the delivery of nearly 110 billion m3 of gas and 2.7 million tons of condensate over the last 22 years, contributing significantly to the national energy security and laying the foundation for digital transformation in Vietnam's gas industry.
