Abstract: This paper discusses and makes the case for the use of integrated process simulation models in hydrocarbon allocation systems used by upstream and midstream hydrocarbon processing facilities such as offshore installations and onshore gas plants and oil terminals. The main purpose of simulation models within hydrocarbon allocation systems is to provide information relating to the behaviour of hydrocarbons in a process plant. The use of simulation models ranges from the generation of process information e.g. shrinkage factors, to full integration of the model within the allocation process itself. In the remainder of the paper the outputs from process simulations used in allocation systems have been generically termed process factors. The simualtion model is intended to reflect the changing operating conditions, flow rates and variations in composition experienced in the process, expressed in terms of the process factors.
