Optimization of producing oil and gas wells has always been important for managing operating expenses and continues to be an important part of product

In this episode of SPE Tech Talk with Innospec Oilfield Services, we delve into the ways in which DRA allows operators to effectively reduce operational and capital costs.

Gas hydrate formation in oil and gas pipelines may cause flow assurance problems, especially in deep water subsea tiebacks. Agglomeration and bedding of hydrates particles and its deposition on pipe walls may form blockages that stop production. This presentation will cover the systems approach that we, at the Center for Hydrate Research of the Colorado School of Mines, have followed to design our mathematical models to predict gas hydrate formation in multiphase flow pipelines.

Automation has proved beneficial in oil and gas applications such as water management, managed pressure drilling, and now we are seeing the benefits i

As we enter an era of unprecedented data availability, low-cost computing, and broad application of data science, how do we evolve the practices that

This expert panel discussion explores the concept of Early Production Systems in offshore developments and how they can be efficiently used to de-risk

Sand production is an important flow assurance concern encountered in existing as well as new oil and gas pipelines. In spite of the sand control/management techniques implemented down-hole, fine sand (less than 50-75 microns) often may find its way into the piping components of onshore, offshore, and subsea facilities. This presentation will focus on discussing Tridiagonal teams research on sand transport, erosion and erosion-corrosion in field scale test facilities.

Multiphase Flow Conditioning resides at the interface between Flow Assurance and Process Engineering expertise and addresses issues that are often not considered by either area. Consequences of overlooking Multiphase Flow Conditioning issues may include Compressors shut-downs, undesired flaring, deferred production and not meeting water quality standards, among others. While Multiphase Flow Conditioning is often overlooked, we can correct Multiphase Flow Conditioning issues with relatively simple solutions including smarter piping design upstream of separators. It is especially easier to address Multiphase Flow Conditioning issues in the Value Creation phase of a project.

The application of digital technology in the area of flow assurance has significantly grown in the last few years. In this period, technology stacks have been democratized to empower domain experts to use them effectively without significant training requirements. This webinar will showcase a few use cases where digital technologies have been applied and how they can reshape operational decision-making with regards to flow assurance.

This webinar will cover why flow assurance is critical to design in the booming carbon capture and storage industry.

Since its discovery some years ago, Brazilian pre-salt has been a big challenge to Petrobras in different disciplines. This webinar will show some general information about pre salt oil fields, and some of the Flow Assurance challenges to produce them.

This webinar will provide an overview and benefits of key building blocks available to unlock stranded reserves by using long distance subsea tiebacks.

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.

This discussion would be a dialogue of associated gas management that supports the transition to net-zero emissions. Ideas to manage associated gas and the urgency to advance current tools enabling effective predictions will be discussed. We will also discuss technologies where flow assurance would play a critical role and skill sets required to enable that transition.

Flow assurance is a vital challenge that affects the viability of an asset in all oil producing environments. A proper understanding of asphaltene precipitation leading to deposition lends itself to reliable completions planning and timely remediation efforts. This ultimately dictates the production life of the reservoir.
