Abstract

A method for assessment of an oil and gas flow network comprises: gathering historical data and/or live data relating to the status of multiple control points at different branches within the flow network and to one or more flow parameter(s) of interest in one or more flow path(s) of the flow network d; identifying time intervals in the data during which the control points and the flow parameters are in a steady state; and extracting statistical data representative of some or all steady state intervals identified in step to thereby represent the original data from step in a compact form.
