Flow Assurance Technologies
Monday, 20 October
Room 332AD
Technical Session
This session brings together a wide range of study cases, sharing the latest and innovative industry solutions, experiences and technology advances applied to managing flow assurance challenges. The subjects include field experiences in extending squeeze life to achieve sustainable OPEX savings, optimizing hydrate prevention strategies for well start-up and understanding fluid behaviors to optimize system operations. A selection of good works demonstrating the great efforts in understanding the fundamentals and finding innovation solutions are presented, for instance developing a hydrate slurry viscosity model for oil flowlines, exploring the dominant role of fluid flux in sanding, predicting sand rate or characterize oil and water flow using acoustic technology, determining innovative chemical solutions for iron sulfide removal and preventing asphaltene deposition, and use of latest technology such as the first multiphase surface compressor to enhance production.
