Brief

sPipe is a simple surface pipeline sizing tool.

It calculates the pressure drop in oil, gas and water flowlines.

PEngTools sPipe

Typical applications

  • Estimation of flowrate with defined pressures at inlet and outlet
  • Estimation of inlet and outlet pressures for achieving target flowrate
  • Selection of pipeline size
  • Estimation of mixture velocity

Main features

  • Plot of pressure profile vs length
  • Result table with pressure, velocity and hold-up
  • Sensitivity analysis
  • Using prepared PVT models
  • Account for elevation


Interface features

  • Save and share references to saved models with colleagues
  • Last saved model on current computer and browser is automatically opened
  • Choose between Metric units and US oilfield units.
  • Save as image and print plot by means of chart context menu (button at the upper-right corner of chart)
  • Download report in pdf format containing input parameters, calculated values and plot
  • Select and copy results to Excel or other application
