The enormous cost of handling the challenges of flow assurance in subsea wells, flowlines, and risers, especially in deepwater applications, has necessitated a proactive approach to prevent their risk of occurrence. To ensure that... more
The reservoir rock is made up of different minerals and its surface chemistry is influenced by the reservoir environment. Well operations implemented during the life of a field induce changes in the reservoir environment (pH) that affect... more
The thermodynamic and kinetic hydrates inhibition effects of addition of synergents poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and vinyl caprolactum (VCAP) with ionic liquids 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium chloride [PMPy][Cl] and... more
Under near-gelling conditions, the precipitated wax particles can settle down due to gravity and form a bed at the bottom of the pipeline. During restart, the settled waxy bed can increase the pressure drop significantly, and the... more
Asphaltene precipitation and deposition have been a formation damage problem for decades, with the most devastating effects being wettability alteration and permeability impairment. To this effect, a critical look into the laboratory... more
Over the years, the desire of oil and gas operators to reduce topside facilities using Subsea Production Systems (SPS) has increased tremendously. This has resulted in the overwhelming importance of flowassurance studies in ensuring the... more
