Annotation:

The article determines the optimal variant of multiphase liquid transportation from the Korchagin block-conductor (BC) to Korchagin offshore ice-resistant stationary platform (OIRSP). The variants of transportation were calculated using the digital integrated model, which includes an oil production system and supposes accounting of all centers of reservoir production chain, wells and on-land infrastructure. As a result of the performed study, the choice of the most efficient scheme for multiphase liquids transportation, technological restrictions for OIRSP and optimal volume of gas injection for the wells gas-lift system was developed and substantiated. An integrated approach was proposed that will allow considering the main indicators of the predictive calculation of the hydrodynamic model and restrictions on the pressure of the separator of OIRSP to determine the optimal transportation variant.
