Gain better understanding and predict the flow pattern within the pipeline from reservoir to topside processing.

The importance of Lifecycle Simulation is to develop models for analysis that examine whether problems can develop due to changes in the reservoir and the hydrocarbon stream. Over time, the simulation model becomes more and more accurate as it incorporates detailed operational information into the model.  

The Lifecycle Simulation Concept is based on continuous simulation runs throughout the development and operational phases of a project as both a design and verification tool.
