HCEXPORT

INSTALLATIONS / HCEXPORT

Description​

HCEXPORT defines the export of hydrocarbons as a number of oil equivalents in Sm3. This keyword is required for the output of emission intensity (i.e., kg CO2/boe). This could be a single time series variable or an expression <expressions> containing multiple time series variables. Typically it would be the sum of exported oil and gas in units of oil equivalents.

What is hydrocarbon export?

Hydrocarbon export is the oil equivalents of what is exported for sale and only these volumes should be included here. I.e., it is important to distinguish between produced gas and sales gas. See GL0093 in Docmap.

Format​

HCEXPORT: <EXPRESSION>  # [Sm3/day]

or

HCEXPORT:
 <DATE>: <EXPRESSION>  # [Sm3/day]
 <DATE>: <EXPRESSION>  # [Sm3/day]

Example​

Basic usage​

HCEXPORT: SIM;OIL_PROD {+} SIM;GAS_SALES {/} 1000

With time dependency​

In this example the gas export starts later than production start up:

HCEXPORT:
  2001-01-01: SIM1;OIL_PROD
  2005-01-01: SIM2:OIL_PROD {+} SIM1;GAS_SALES {/} 1000

Example showing HCEXPORT the modelling hierarchy:

INSTALLATIONS:
  - NAME: installation_A
    FUEL: fuel_gas
    HCEXPORT: SIM;OIL_PROD:FIELD_A {+} SIM;GAS_SALES:FIELD_A {/} 1000
    GENERATORSETS:
      <Data for the generator sets to be put her>
    FUELCONSUMERS:
      <Data for the fuel consumers to be put here>
  - NAME: installation_B
    HCEXPORT: SIM;OIL_PROD:FIELD_B {+} SIM;GAS_SALES:FIELD_B{/} 1000
    GENERATORSETS:
      <Data for the generator sets to be put her>
