Principles of Applied Flow Assurance
This course provides a practical understanding of flow assurance fundamentals and their application in real-world oil and gas operations. Participants will learn to identify, analyze, and mitigate flow-related challenges such as hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, emulsions, and scale—ensuring uninterrupted production and cost-effective field performance.
Description
The Principles of Applied Flow Assurance course offers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, mechanisms, and technologies that govern the transport of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to surface facilities. Flow assurance plays a vital role in maintaining production efficiency, minimizing downtime, and reducing operating costs.
Participants will gain insight into multiphase flow behavior, fluid characterization, and the thermal, chemical, and mechanical control methods used to prevent flow restrictions. The course also explores design considerations for flowlines and pipelines, and highlights the use of modeling tools and field data for performance prediction and troubleshooting.
Through a balance of theory and practical case studies, this program equips professionals to develop integrated flow assurance strategies that align with operational and economic goals.
As oil and gas developments move into deeper waters and more complex environments, ensuring reliable hydrocarbon flow has become increasingly challenging. Flow assurance involves the anticipation and management of potential production issues—from hydrate formation and wax deposition to scale buildup and corrosion.
This course introduces participants to the scientific principles and practical approaches that underpin flow assurance. It emphasizes understanding the interactions between fluid properties, operating conditions, and transport systems to maintain continuous and efficient flow throughout the production lifecycle.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the key principles of flow assurance and its role in field development and production.
-
Identify common flow assurance challenges such as hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, and scale.
-
Apply thermal, chemical, and mechanical methods for flow assurance management.
-
Analyze multiphase flow behavior in subsea and surface systems.
-
Utilize modeling tools to predict flow behavior and optimize system design.
-
Evaluate case studies and develop effective mitigation and remediation strategies.
The course combines interactive lectures, illustrative case studies, group problem-solving sessions, and practical examples drawn from real field operations. Simulation tools and flow assurance modeling concepts are discussed to help participants connect theory to actual design and troubleshooting scenarios. The learning environment encourages discussion and knowledge sharing among participants from different disciplines.
By applying the principles learned in this course, organizations can expect to:
-
Reduce production losses caused by flow blockages or system failures.
-
Improve design reliability and operational efficiency of flow systems.
-
