Production and Completions
Flow Assurance for Offshore Production
As offshore developments move into deeper water, longer tiebacks and harsher reservoir conditions, keeping fluids flowing becomes a central design concern. This course covers gas hydrates alongside wax, asphaltenes, emulsions, scale, corrosion, slugging and operability. Participants gain enough theory to understand how mitigation and remediation methods are chosen and applied in system design.
