Background

An oil well commonly produces the crude consisting of gas,oil, water, and contaminants. A gas oil separation process(GOSP) handles the crude from the well and separates oil,gas, water, and contaminants. The processed oil and gas canthen be sent to oil refineries and gas processing plants,

respectively.

For field development research and assessment, a numberof process scenarios must be quickly generated and assignedwith different probabilities. The Aspen HYSYS and

Conceptual Design Builder lets you quickly generate thenecessary iterated, individual scenarios necessary for fielddevelopment research and assessment.

Problem Statement

An oil field produces the crude with the followingspecifications that is processed in a gas oil separationplant:

- Gas/Oil Ratio (GOR): 200

- Water/Oil Ratio (WOR): 0.02- Production Rate: 2000 barrels/day

Using Aspen HYSYS and the Conceptual Design Builder,determine the oil, gas, and water production rate fromthis process.
