    Impediment to flow caused by either fluid phase behavior coupled with the dynamics of flow and/or production-chemistry-related issues.  These issues in the wellbores and flow lines have long been identified in onshore and 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 consideration of the fluid phase behavior, flow dynamics, and production chemistry aspects at the design phase of field development.

    This five-day course will present 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.  Flow impediments that will be discussed include 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.  In this five day version participants will be exposed to methodologies and technologies used for flow assurance modeling.  Also, a visit to the lab will be devoted to provide insight about some measurement aspects of production chemistry and its importance.

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

    Four year Engineering or Geoscience degree plus five years of work experience.
