Flow Assurance for Offshore Production

After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the process required and identify data to analyse Flow Assurance for oil and gas fields.
• Examine and Identify the Flow Assurance issues required to be evaluated for oil and gas fields design. These include; Wax, Hydrates, Slugging, Corrosion, Sand Erosion, Scaling and Surge.
• Establish the studies to be undertaken for each area of Flow Assurance including “Rules of Thumb” and software to be used.
• Prioritize the need for innovative methods and the technologies to solve Flow Assurance issues and the need for economics considerations.
• Appreciate the need for an integrated analysis of the oil and fields from the reservoir to the host processing facility.
• Gain an appreciation of the emerging and enabling technologies for offshore fields application.
• Dive deeper into the operational strategies requirements to mitigate Flow Assurance issues.

This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific groups:

• Reservoir Engineers
• Flow Assurance Engineers
• Thermodynamics Engineers
• Process and Chemical Engineers
• Pipeline Engineers
• Facilities Engineers
• Control and Subsea Engineers working in the Oil and Gas industries
• Engineers in other disciplines may attend that require an appreciation of Flow Assurance

• Intermediate

The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught in their own organization.

Course Duration: 5 days in total (35 hours).
