    PIPEPHASE is a simulation software that models pressure, temperature, and liquid profiles in pipelines and networks. It can handle mixtures of liquid, gas, and steam. Version 9.7 includes improvements like unit conversion, right click options, picture addition, and device copy/paste. Version 9.8 further improves wellbore data input, Excel profile entry, case studies, Olga-S integration, and multiple global defaults. Both versions upgrade the user interface and integrate better with related tools like PRO/II, SIM4ME Portal, and thermodynamic databases.

    PIPEPHASE is a simulation software that models steady state pressure, temperature and liquid holdup profiles in pipelines and piping networks. It can handle various fluid types and includes special capabilities like well analysis and sensitivity analysis.

    PIPEPHASE can model multiphase mixtures, wells, pipelines, and other facilities. It includes capabilities like well inflow performance analysis, gas lift analysis, pipeline modeling, and sensitivity analysis. Special features include PVT data tuning, NACE corrosion modeling, and integration with other simulators.

    Some of the user experience improvements include updates to the simulation wizard, right click options, unit conversion, ability to add pictures to process flow diagrams, cutting/copying multiple devices, and report improvements.

    What is PIPEHASE?
    PIPEPHASE software is a simulation program which predicts steadystate pressure, temperature, and liquid holdup profiles in wells,
    flowlines, gathering systems, and other linear or network configurations
    of pipes, wells, pumps, compressors, separators, and other facilities.
    The fluid types that PIPEPHASE software can handle include liquid,
    gas, steam, and multiphase mixtures of gas and liquid.
    Several special capabilities have also been designed into PIPEPHASE
    software including well analysis with inflow performance; gas lift
    analysis; pipeline sphering; and sensitivity (nodal) analysis. These
    additions extend the range of the PIPEPHASE application so that the
    full range of pipeline and piping network problems can be solved.
