Single Phase Flow Assurance in Subsea Pipelines Online Course

Flow assurance deals with all issues that may arise in flowline and can cause the flow not to happen properly. It deals with issues like slugging, hydrate formation, flow of waxy fluids, multiphase flow prediction, etc.

Flow assurance studies can be categorized to steady-state studies and transient studies. Steady-state flow assurance studies helps to draw a clear picture of the flowing system. Steady-state studies results helps to understand phase behavior, operational limitations, etc. For example, knowing what happens in turndown operation, winter and summer conditions, different feed characteristics helps to predict the borderlines of safe operational area.

Steady-state hydraulic model is used to determine pipeline size. Criteria for line sizing is pressure constraints, erosion velocity limits and flow regime. All steady-state prediction models assume that pressure, temperature and physical properties of the fluid remains constant with time. But in the real world they change with time. However, single-phase pipeline sizing by steady-state hydraulic modeling usually leads us to acceptable results.
