Flow assurance

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001469

The engineering discipline focused on maintaining uninterrupted and efficient flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the processing facility. This involves managing potential flow impediments such as hydrate formation, wax deposition, asphaltene precipitation, and corrosion. Strategies include chemical inhibition, thermal management, and mechanical pigging to prevent blockages and maintain production rates.
