LedaFlow | Kongsberg Digital

Enhance operations through multiphase flow simulation

Enable better decision-making

Based on models that are closer to the actual physics of multiphase flow, LedaFlow provides the step change in accuracy and detail that is needed for longer tiebacks, deeper water, and harsher environments so you can make smarter, faster decisions for your operations.

Support net-zero and greenhouse gas objectives

Accurate simulations to transport and inject CO2 (with and without impurities) will enable reduced design margins and decreased investment costs of CO2 transport and injection systems while maintaining operational safety.

Facilitate cleaner, more cost-efficient operations

LedaFlow helps drive down costs associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations to make cleaner energy more affordable. Additional functionality includes slug, hydrate, gas and liquid management, and start-up/shut-down/restart of wells and pipelines.

Know what is happening in your production network.

Apply powerful solutions

Increase resolution with the multi-field approach

LedaFlow solves the mass balance equations for all nine fields (gas, oil, and water in the bulk and two dispersed fields per phase) while momentum and energy equations are solved for the three continuous phases. This detailed approach enables closer matching to laboratory and field data.

Access advanced thermal modelling

As LedaFlow solves separate energy equations for all three phases, much more accurate information can be determined during stratified flow and during blow down conditions where the temperature of the slower moving liquids at the bottom of a pipe can differ considerably from the gas flowing above.

Predict the initiation and growth of hydrodynamic slugs

LedaFlow uses a Unit Cell Model for modelling terrain and riser induced slugging. It also includes Slug Capturing which is the first commercially available solution to accurately predict hydrodynamic slug behavior without user input.

Work smarter, not harder

Calculate the formation and transport of hydrate particles

The hydrate transport model calculates the formation and transport of hydrate particles. It is used to evaluate the possibility to operate inside the hydrate risk region by taking into account the effect of inhibitors, the changes in temperature due to the heat of reaction and the effect on fluid properties.

Keep wax deposits under control

The wax deposition module simulates creation, melting and deposition of wax. It is used to determine the pigging frequency required to keep wax deposits under control.

Simplify your profile data work

LedaFlow includes a group of tools to generate profiles that are suitable for dynamic simulations. These tools include several filtering methods, a simplification tool based on the methodology developed by Erich Zakarian and an algorithm that can generate a realistic profile when data is missing.
