Flow Assurance

Friday, 23 October
Room 361 BECF
Technical Session
This Flow Assurance session offers a tight overview of emerging methods to predict and control flow risks across the production system, from hydrate-and-wax modeling and new emulsion-rheology insights to corrosion risks driven by water-layer formation. It highlights how brine chemistry impacts asphaltene deposition, introduces sustainable chemistries for wax-asphaltene remediation and next-generation inhibition, and presents optimized MEG and KHI strategies for challenging sour-gas and water-injection environments. The session also features advances in mineral-scaling prediction through reactive-transport modeling and new 3-D evidence of particle-driven injectivity impairment—capturing the key innovations reshaping modern flow assurance.
