PROSPER

PROSPER, developed by Petroleum Experts (Petex), is a multiphase well and pipeline nodal analysis software designed to assist in the design, analysis, and optimization of oil and gas wells and pipelines. According to the vendor, PROSPER is suitable for companies of all sizes, ranging from small independent operators to large multinational corporations. The software caters to petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, well performance analysts, pipeline engineers, and oil and gas operators across various industries.

Key Features

Adaptive Interface: According to the vendor, PROSPER's adaptive interface minimizes the effort required to build models by presenting users with relevant input fields and menus based on their selections.

Extensive Model Options: The vendor claims that PROSPER offers over three million combinations of options, allowing for a wide range of situations to be modeled by describing physical phenomena in wells and pipelines.

Outflow (VLPs) Model: PROSPER includes proprietary multiphase flow pressure drop models that, according to the vendor, overcome the limitations of traditional models in the industry, ensuring accurate analysis of well and pipeline performance.

Inflow (IPRs) Model: According to the vendor, PROSPER offers a comprehensive set of inflow models, enabling Nodal Analysis calculations for any type of well by considering various well geometries.

Multilateral Completions: The vendor states that PROSPER's advanced analytical Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) model is specifically designed for complex well completions with undulating trajectories across multiple producing zones.

Inflow/Outflow Response: According to the vendor, PROSPER's rigorous multiphase pressure drop models and unique inflow performance relationships allow for the assessment of well productivity in production and injection scenarios, with or without artificial lift.

Thermal Modelling: PROSPER enables the modeling of thermal profiles in wellbores using various methods, including full energy balance calculations that consider convection, conduction, and radiation heat transfer mechanisms, according to the vendor.

Flow Assurance: The vendor claims that PROSPER is equipped with extensive features for studying flow assurance challenges, allowing for designing and troubleshooting purposes by analyzing hydraulic flow regimes, wellbore stability, and thermodynamic behavior of fluids.

Fully Compositional: According to the vendor, PROSPER utilizes a powerful thermodynamics engine to complement traditional black oil models, enabling advanced calculations for hydrate prediction, salt deposition, and handling of CO2.

Artificial Lift Systems: PROSPER offers modeling capabilities for artificial lift design and troubleshooting, supporting various lift mechanisms such as Gas Lift, ESPs, HSPs, and Jet Pumps, as claimed by the vendor.
