Description
We present an optimization model for analysis of system development for natural gas fields, processing and transport infrastructure. In this paper we present our experience from performing analyses for the natural gas industry with the optimization model. We also present a model extension in the form of continuous investment decisions. This extension allows the capacity in pipelines, processing facilities and compressors to be determined within a given range by the model. We also give a partial model description along with a case example that demonstrates the importance of using continuous investment decisions when considering design in natural gas systems.
