Simulation & Analysis in Oil & Gas

Note: The presentation and recording files are only available to NAFEMS members.

Overview

This webinar aims to provide an overview of how engineering simulation and analysis can be successfully applied to the oil and gas industry across a range of applications including:

Subsea & flow assurance
Processing and separation systems
Integrity issues such as erosion & flow-induced vibration
Technical safety

Focus of the work presented will be the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) as well as how multiphysics simulation can help bring together multiple techniques to solve evermore-demanding engineering challenges.

The role of simulation and analysis technology has never been more important to the oil and gas industry; especially during the current period of uncertainty around oil prices. As well as helping produce safe and reliable system design and operation, simulation technology also offers the opportunity to maximize innovation and engineering output at reduced time and cost.

Whether you are new to computer-aided engineering (CAE) and simulation or an engineer already working in this field, this webinar aims to provide a background on the benefits of engineering simulation to gain deeper insight into the performance of production systems and equipment.
