Introduction
Flow assurance is an engineering analysis process that is used to ensure
that hydrocarbon fluids are transmitted economically from the reservoir to the
end user over the life of a project in any environment.
With flow assurance, our knowledge of fluid properties and thermal-hydraulic
analyses of a system are utilized to develop strategies for controlling solids
such as hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, and scale from the system.
The term flow assurance was first used by Petrobras in the early 1990s; it
originally referred to only the thermal hydraulics and production chemistry
issues encountered during oil and gas production.

Introduction
Although the term is relatively new, the problems related to flow assurance
have been a critical issue in the oil / gas industry from very early days.
Hydrates were observed to cause blockages in gas pipelines as early as the
1930s and were solved with chemical inhibition using methanol.

Introduction
The course provides an overview of flow assurance and the fundamentals of
flow management for subsea production systems.
Following this introduction, the engineering tools and strategies associated
with real world production will be developed.
The materials of this course emphasize the understanding of basic sciences,
engineering and flow assurance principles, as well as their application in the
assessment, prevention and remediation of flow assurance problems.
