Abstract: Simplified models are developed for a 3-phase well-pipeline-riser and tested together with a high fidelity dynamic model built in K-Spice and LedaFlow. These models are developed from a subspace algorithm, i.e. Deterministic and Stochastic system identification and Realization (DSR), and implemented in a Linear Quadratic optimal Regulator (LQR) for stabilizing the slugging regime. We are comparing LQR with PI controller using different performance measures.
