Fundamentals of Flow Assurance for Offshore Study

About

During production and transportation of hydrocarbon, especially in cases of extreme temperatures and pressures, it is possible that methane gas hydrates crystallize or asphaltenes precipitate in the pipeline. If not properly controlled, the hydrate crystals, asphaltene, or wax particles may precipitate and agglomerate to the point of plugging the pipeline. Flow assurance is an engineering analysis process of developing design and operating guidelines for the control of solids deposition such as hydrates, wax, and asphaltenes in subsea systems. This webinar will give insight into flow assurance study, focusing on offshore activities.
