COURSE OUTLINE
MODULE 1
1.0. Fluid Properties and Phase behaviour modeling
1.1. Component of production system
1.2. Flow assurance concerns that need to be examined:

• Pipeline rupture from corrosion
• Pipeline blockage from hydrates or wax
• Severe slugging can damage separator
• Large pressure drop in pipelines can cause lower flow than should be

MODULE 2
2.1. Flow assurance strategies that need to be adopted:

• Hydraulic Analysis – acceptable pressure drops, pipeline size, erosion & corrosion limits
• Thermal Analysis – temperature distribution, heat loss
• Inhibition Analysis – hydrate inhibitors, wax inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors

2.2. Flow assurance strategies Terms
· Beggs and Brill method
· Volume fraction, holdup and water cut
· Superficial velocity
· Mixture velocity and density
· Mass conservation
· Momentum conservation
· Energy conservation
· Mass transfer between phases
· Subsonic vs. transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows
