The dynamic behavior of an offshore oil production plant obtained through an anti-slug
scheme based on a feedback PI control was studied. Three different SISO control scenarios …

The limit cycle is an unexceptional problem in the oil industry that may cause significant
losses in production. Also called slug flow or slugging, the unsteady flow can be handled by …

The stability of the subsea oil and gas production system is heavily influenced by slug flow.
One successful method of managing slug flow is to use top valve control based on subsea …

The application of deoiling hydrocyclone systems as the downstream of three-phase gravity
separator (TPGS) systems is one of the most commonly deployed produced water treatment …

In offshore oil production, the occurrence of oscillatory flow regime that causes instabilities is
very common, resulting in production losses, occasioned by shutdown, and environmental …

This paper presents a nonlinear model predictive control approach for a three-phase gravity
separator model. The aim of the controller is to dampen slug-induced, oscillatory …

The main challenges in oil platforms are how to define optimal setpoints and decision-
making for controlling variables due to many existing dynamical production uncertainties …

A produção de petróleo e gás é caracterizada pelo transporte dos fluidos do reservatório até
as instalações de processamento, onde as correntes produzidas são tratadas e …
