A pipeline consists of several segments of pipe that has very complex and diverse forms. Figure 1 shows a scheme of pipeline surface that connects the fluid of some wellheads which are located at each platform to separator. The pipeline consists of several platforms, each of which has several wellheads.

Fluid flow that occurs comes from well which then when it reaches the surface of fluid will go to the wellhead. Fluid from each wellhead will be streamed into a pipe flow, starting point of the meeting is called gathering point fluid, fluid then flows into the header platform. Fluid derived from multiple platforms header will be channeled back into separator. This section serves as separator between phases of fluid.
More details of the pipeline production scheme that lies beneath surface to the surface is shown in Figure 2. In the Figure 2 shows that the fluid source is derived from 3 pieces of reservoirs. Fluid jetting processes that occur on the surface similar to those seen in Figure 1, it is from wellhead to separator. In an oil field, production processes often experience a variety of obstacles, one of them is bottleneck. This bottleneck can lead to the production of wells are not optimal.
