NeqSim Python

NeqSim Python is part of the NeqSim project. NeqSim Python is a Python interface to the NeqSim Java library for estimation of fluid behavior and process design for oil and gas production. NeqSim Python toolboxes (eg. thermoTools and processTools) are implemented to streamline use of neqsim in Python. Examples of use are given in the examples folder.

Releases

NeqSim Python is distributed as a pip package. Please read the Prerequisites.

End-users should install neqsim python with some additional packages by running

Getting Started

See the NeqSim Python Wiki for how to use NeqSim Python via Python or in Jupyter notebooks. Also see examples of use of NeqSim for Gas Processing in Colab. Learn and ask questions in Discussions for use and development of NeqSim.

Prerequisites

Java version 8 or higher (Java JDK) needs to be installed. The Python package JPype is used to connect Python and Java. Read the installation requirements for Jpype. Be aware that mixing 64 bit Python with 32 bit Java and vice versa crashes on import of the jpype module. The needed Python packages are listed in the NeqSim Python dependencies page.
