The main aim of the research is to develop a model for an industrial natural gas production network. An industrial network consisting of natural gas wells, gas pipelines, and choke valves was chosen for the research. After developing the model, the model was validated against collected plant data. Data was collected from the plant historian system and used to validate the model. The data selected were the pressures and flow from each wellhead, the pipeline pressure, consumer demand pressure, and consumer demand flow. The consumer demand flow measurements are contained in the file 'Consumer demands' all network pressure measurements are in the file 'Pressure data' and all flow measurements are in the file 'Flow data'. The PressureData and FlowData files contain the measured measurements and predicted measurements for the network in order to allow for evaluation of the model prediction performance.
