Spotlight On Flow Assurance

Hi-Flow® Process Increases Well Flow Rate And Acts As A Temporary Flow Back Handling System
By CETCO Oilfield Services
In an effort to increase the flow rate through a well in the Gulf of Mexico and ultimately unload the well, a major operator required a means to increase the flow rate from 500 barrels of total fluids per day to at least 2,000 barrels per day. The operator required a system that could simultaneously increase the flow rate through the well while ensuring the resulting wastewater met strict overboard discharge criteria.


Simulation Restarts Subsea Multiphase Flow Line Without Intervention
By Schlumberger
The operating company approached the Schlumberger Deepwater Technology Hub for an independent assessment of the waxy crude that focused on its gelling characteristics. The request was triggered by one of their chemical vendors who suggested that the fluid would gel after an extended shut-in and would require continuous dosing of a pourpoint depressant.


StimPlus Services Ensured Long-Lasting Scale Protection
By Baker Hughes
Mineral scale inhibition in post-fracturing operations of Bakken Shale wells is of particular concern to several North Dakota oil and gas operators. As a key line of defense against scale, chemical inhibitors are often injected with frac fluids to afford protection during flowback. The key issue for operators is maximizing how long the flow back fluids remain treated.


Flow Assurance Competence Center
The primary goal of flow assurance is to ensure production deliverability and operability. FMC Technologies Flow Assurance Competence Center is staffed with specialists in the fields of multiphase flow, production chemistry and technology, erosion, gas hydrates, and heat transfer.
