Flow Assurance and computational simulation

How to Design a productive system to optimize production and mitigate risks

Flow assurance is to ensure and provide a low-risk and cost-effective transport of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to surface facilities and ultimately to the sales point.

Oil and Gas companies need a reliable representation of the fluid behavior and transport characteristics, as well as an optimized design of the production system. Thus, it is possible to predict the fluid behavior under different conditions and prevent flow assurance issues such as severe slugging, waxes and hydrates.

So, if you are a professional from the Oil and Gas Industry, you need to keep up-to-date about the latest in flow assurance simulation strategies.

In this free webinar we will introduce concepts of flow assurance and present ALFAsim, an unidimensional dynamic multiphase flow simulator. You will learn how to use ALFAsim to understand the production system behavior, from the well to the topsides and devise flow assurance strategies to mitigate risks through real examples from O&G Industry.

Join us and get insight into designing a reliable production system using ALFAsim.
