Optimize the completion design by considering skin effects on horizontal well length and tubing or casing size.

Optimize production through intelligent completions by modeling downhole flow control valves or other downhole equipment, such as chokes, subsurface safety valves, separators, and chemical injectors.

Design artificial lift systems (e.g., rod pumps, progressing cavity pumps, ESPs, and gas lift) and compare their relative benefits.Perform nodal analysis and diagnose liquid loading or lift requirements.Design and optimize pipelines and equipment such as pumps, compressors, and multiphase boosters to maximize production and capital investment.Size separation equipment and slug catchers to manage liquids associated with pigging, ramp-up surges, and hydrodynamic slugging volumes.

Examine system-design layout options and operating parameters for a range of inputs.Size pumps, compressors, and multiphase boosters to meet target rates.Size pipelines to minimize backpressure while maintaining stable flow within the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP).Typical flow assurance applications: Pipeline and facility sizing
