Conventional approaches to the management of Flow Assurance problems have often resulted in incremental emissions. We documented examples such as:
The use of gas and diesel-powered pumps for chemical injection and boosting applications.
Depressurization / blowdown operations of high-pressure, wet gas and/or multiphase lines to dislodge and/or mitigate hydrate plugs.
Inefficient flaring during the management of a process upset or severe slugging event.
Advances in power generation and storage, chemical injection systems and fully automated process controls can help with reducing both the frequency of unplanned interruptions to production and the emissions of methane and/or CO2 from field operations.
This webinar brings together specialists from operating and engineering companies, as well as equipment suppliers, to talk about their experiences in managing a diverse range of Flow Assurance problems in different parts of the world. The common theme of these case studies is that the application of non-traditional approaches and new technologies/techniques offers an opportunity to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency.
