Current trends in Flow Assurance: from R&D to Applications
https://mines.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcqd-iqqDMqE9codNMgr1yAma4IyEYHpqai
The term flow assurance appears to have come into existence in the 1990s when the industry was pushing into harsher environments such as deep water. It was a realization that the industry would need to be able to guarantee flow over longer distances, 24/7 with high reliability, in a high-stakes environment where intervention to rectify issues and blockages would be costly. Risk avoidance as a result was the default flow assurance strategy. We are about 20+ years in with the field of flow assurance. Today, deep water and harsher environments are still a part of the portfolio of assets, but there is a need to make those assets thrive in a prolonged lower oil price- / lower carbon- environment and compete for limited investment capital. Some of the current trends in Flow Assurance from R&D technology gaps to practices in field applications will be covered in this presentation
