Flow Assurance

Flow Assurance

Flow assurance delivering through the project life cycle.

Flow assurance encompasses the thermal-hydraulic design and assessment of multiphase production/transport systems as well as the prediction, prevention, and remediation of flow stoppages due to solids deposition.

Providing reassurance that the entire system can be designed to operate successfully and economically, system designers must consider flow assurance fundamentals such as reservoir characteristics, production profiles, fluid chemistry and environmental conditions.
