Claim One:
1. A method for adjusting a production system, the method comprising: building a network model that represents the production system for fluid wherein the production system comprises equipment; receiving data; based at least in part on at least a portion of the data, assigning equations to sub-networks in the network model wherein at least one of the sub-networks represents fluid at or near a critical point and is assigned equations formulated for solving for pressure implicitly, flow rate implicitly and enthalpy implicitly or for solving for pressure implicitly, flow rate implicitly and temperature implicitly; simulating physical phenomena associated with the production system using the network model to provide simulation results; and based at least in part on the simulation results, selectively adjusting at least one piece of the equipment wherein the piece of the equipment comprises an electric motor operatively coupled to a mechanism to move fluid.
