Abstarct: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bottleneck is an important problem which often occurs in surface pipeline network. The indicator of this problem could be seen in the fields when the pressure drop between inlet and outlet is high but the flow rate is relatively low. The discussion here is focused on the fluid flow from several wellheads at the platforms to the separator. In the production system, there are several wellheads as the sources of the fluid that will flow to the separator. If the pressure value at each wellhead has a high variation, then the fluid from one well may not flow to the separator, instead backward flow will occur. The type of the fluid being chosen is multiphase with Beggs Brill correlation. The objective of this final project is to calculate the pressure value at each wellhead in order to avoid the bottleneck problem. The problem is reduced to solving system of equations involving boundary value problems, taking into account surface choke positions. The numerical results are shown for an oil field data. <br />
