DESIGNED FOR
Engineers, Operators and Technical Managers who are responsible for offshore completions, production and development; Technical Staff needing a foundation in principals, challenges and solutions for offshore flow assurance. The course is also appropriate for persons involved in produced fluids flow in onshore production operations.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
Identify the components of a complete flow assurance study for offshore developments and understand how they relate to the production system design and operation.
Interpret and use sampling and laboratory testing results of reservoir fluids relative to flow assurance
Understand the basic properties of reservoir fluids and how they are modeled for the production flowline system
Understand the thermohydraulic modeling of steady state and transient multiphase flow in offshore production systems.
Evaluate and compare mitigation and remediation techniques for: gas hydrates, paraffin (waxes), asphaltenes, emulsions, scale, corrosion, erosion and solids transport, and slugging.
Understand the elements of an operability report for subsea production facilities, flowlines, and export flowlines
ABOUT THE COURSE
Flow assurance is a critical component in the design and operation of offshore production facilities. This is particularly true as the industry goes to deeper water, longer tiebacks, deeper wells and higher temperature and pressure reservoirs. Although gas hydrate issues dominate the thermal design; waxes, asphaltenes, emulsions, scale, corrosion, erosion, solids transport, slugging and operability are all important issues which require considerable effort. The student will be presented with sufficient theory/correlation information to be able to understand the basis for the applications. This intensive 5-day course has considerable time devoted to student application and design exercises to ensure the practical applications are learned.
One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.
