In the first product from this alliance, Baker Jardine's wellbore, tubing and flowline simulation software, Pipesim 2000, is integrated into Hyprotech's Hysys.Process process simulation tool.
This integration allows for the development of models from well completion through entire production facilities.

Any number of Pipesim well or pipeline flow models can now be embedded within Hysys.Process to form a production system model.
A common model is used to produce maximum oil and gas production rates from a number of wells connected through a production and process system.
The process simulation ensures on-spec production, while the hydraulic simulator determines maximum well "deliverability." The coupling between these tools represents the combination of the industry's two leading process and hydraulic simulators and forms part of the strategic model of a unified upstream simulation platform.
The use of combined simulation leads to better designed, operated and optimized oil and gas systems.
The ability to run combined simulation cases and examine production system sensitivity has yielded benefits of up to12 percent in improved asset performance.
Alan Baker, Managing Director at Baker Jardine, stated "We are pleased to announce the first deliverable from our groundbreaking alliance with Hyprotech.
The combination of both production and process simulation, using tools with which each side of the industry is familiar, will provide information for design and operation options that has never been available before." Wayne Sim, CEO of Hyprotech, added: "The initial product delivery announced today illustrates how an effective alliance can combine two best-of-breed technologies into higher value offerings.
Both companies share a vision of lifecycle simulation which dramatically increases production gains and reduces the cost of model ownership by using common software components." The alliance will further deliver total production system model coupling by integrating the Pipesim 2000 Network Module with Hysys.Process.
It will integrate field planning tools from reservoir performance through process capacity, time stepped over field life and powered by Baker Jardine's Field Planning Tool (FPT) with Hysys.Process.
In addition, the alliance will examine the integration of production surveillance and optimisation by combining Baker Jardine's ProdMan with Hyprotech's real time process optimisation software.
The product announced today linking Hysys.Process and Pipesim 2000 is available to qualified Hyprotech and Baker Jardine clients via a web download.
