"Our extensive and unique experience has been channelled into K-Spice, allowing us to develop a powerful, flexible dynamic process simulation solution for the oil & gas market. K-Spice offers a wide range of improvements including a modern, intuitive user interface, simplified data handling, enhanced calculations and increased robustness and performance," comments Eliot Clutten, Head of Product Development for the Simulation & Optimisation business unit at Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies.
K-Spice enables detailed dynamic simulation of oil and gas processes and control systems throughout the whole process lifecycle. K-Spice is a Windows based tool with a flexible and intuitive graphical user interface and a wealth of advanced features. K-Spice is designed for use across the core applications of: Project feasibility/concept selection, Pre-engineering/detailed engineering, Commissioning/production start-up, Operator Training and Online operations/maintenance support/process optimisation. Within each application K-Spice offers a multitude of functionality based on high-fidelity simulation models that can be re-used at every stage of the project.
K-Spice forms the basis of a wide variety of solutions from KONGSBERG, including conceptual process studies, engineering verification, control system checkout, operator training and real-time production monitoring systems. The range of applications is steadily growing in order to meet new trends in the industry – in particular for Integrated Operations (IO).
