FEESA has combined experience in Flow
Assurance and multiphase flow of more than thirty years
covering a range of activities from fundamental research into transient
multiphase flow, through to the application of novel methods to
the design of oil and gas production systems.
More
often than not, Flow Assurance is regarded as a purely technical
subject area. However from our experience, it is clear
that the assessment of Flow Assurance risk in the upstream sector,
has both technical and economic dimensions.
This is due to the close coupling between risk, revenue and
cost which suggests that Flow Assurance design should not really
be considered in isolation from the project economics.
Two examples that illustrate this relationship are provided
here.
In
addition, Flow Assurance also
includes a number of specialised subject areas, such as thermophysical
properties prediction, phase behaviour and corrosion/erosion, which
are the domains of the Thermodynamicists and Production Chemists.
What
is required in Flow Assurance design therefore, is an interdisciplinary
approach that draws on the specialist skills of a number of groups,
including Production Chemists, Flow Assurance, Pipelines and Cost
Engineers, Economists and Risk Analysts.
To
support and strengthen our expertise in Flow Assurance, we have
close associations with a number of Companies, University Academics
and industry recognised experts.
Most notably, we have good working relationships with the
following:
Petroleum
Venture Management Limited
Infochem
Computer Services Limited |
