    Assuring Flow from Pore to Process

    Impediment to flow caused by either fluid phase behavior coupled with the dynamics of flow and/or production-chemistry-related issues in the wellbores and flow lines has long been identified in onshore or offshore shallow-water environments. These events became more severe in deepwater environment as the intervention is challenging from both technical and cost considerations. Naturally, these situations demand careful considerations of fluid phase behavior, flow dynamics and production chemistry aspects at the design phase of field development.

    This three-day course presents a holistic approach to flow assurance. The course will introduce technologies, work-flows and their deployment for the identification, characterization, and management of flow impediments, such as slugging and precipitation of organic and inorganic solids. The course will present best practices and fit-for-purpose design solutions for minimizing the risk of flow stoppage while transporting hydrocarbons from “Pore to Sales Meter”. The principles will be demonstrated using field examples from around the world.

    This course is intended for engineers and chemists in the upstream and downstream segments of the petroleum industry. This course will also provide department, asset, and technology managers with an appreciation of the risks, challenges, and solutions for free flowing hydrocarbon product.

    4 Year Engineering/Geoscience degree plus 5 years work experience.
