A dynamic model for control of GLCC liquid level and pressure using classical control techniques is developed in this paper for the first time. Detailed analysis of the GLCC control system stability and transient response indicates that liquid level control could be achieved effectively by a control valve in the liquid outlet for gas dominated systems or by a control valve in the gas outlet for liquid dominated systems. Based on the proposed linear control system model, the system performance is simulated using a suitable software design tool. The novel control system design approach presented in this paper forms a framework for the GLCC active control system optimization.P. 545 Keywords: liquid level, control valve, upstream oil & gas, controller, gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone separator, transfer function, drillstem/well testing, dynamic simulation, separation and treating, shoham Subjects: Well & Reservoir Surveillance and Monitoring, Processing Systems and Design, Formation Evaluation & Management, Information Management and Systems, Downhole and wellsite flow metering, Separation and treating, Drillstem/well testing This content is only available via PDF. 1998.
