Innovations in Flow Assurance: Modeling, Chemicals, and Field Applications

Thursday, 7 May
Room 610
Technical Session
This session explores innovations in managing complex flow assurance risks across the lifecycle of offshore and deepwater assets. Topics include strategies for wax, asphaltene, scale, and slugging mitigation; advances in chemical design and optimization; and novel diagnostic and monitoring technologies such as AI-based image recognition and non-intrusive thermal profiling. Case studies from global operations illustrate how operators are integrating cutting-edge solutions with proven field practices to restore capacity, unlock production gains, and strengthen reliability in challenging environments.
