| Limitation | Implication | | :--- | :--- | | | Cannot model slug generation, well unloading, or transient surges. Use OLGA for that. | | Homogeneous or mechanistic models | Accuracy depends on chosen correlation (Beggs & Brill, mechanistic models) – must be tuned to field data. | | No reservoir depletion over time | You must manually update reservoir pressure for a "future" case. |

Default settings often assume perfect insulation. Fix: Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) for your pipe-in-pipe or buried line. A 10% change in U-value can shift hydrate risk by hundreds of meters. | Limitation | Implication | | :--- |
Evaluating risks such as hydrate formation, wax deposition, and scale in pipelines. | | No reservoir depletion over time |
. PIPESIM's "Multi Flash" analysis confirmed that wax was indeed precipitating along the line. Sarah began testing "what-if" scenarios: Pipesim Network 5: Natural Gas Trunkline
