The oil and gas business is serious business and involves millions of dollars so whatever mitigates flow assurance is taken seriously. One of such things is natural gas hydrates. Hydrates are crystalline solids formed when water under low... more
It is almost impossible to solve the modern fluid flow problems without the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In petroleum industry, flow simulations assist engineers to develop the most efficient well design and it is essential... more
Pressure - Volume - Temperature (PVT) analyses simulate the reservoir fluid behavior while flowing from the reservoir to the surface under varying pressure, volume and temperature conditions. There are several PVT simulators that perform... more
One of the most relevant flow assurance issues in oil transportation is indeed the phenomena of wax deposition. Wax deposition occurs when the temperature along the pipeline falls below a point where it is described as Wax Appearance... more
The article provides information on temperature and pressure regimes in submarine gas pipelines, their study, as well as a brief analysis of the difficulties encountered during transportation and various methods for their prevention. The... more
The rheological behaviour of crude oil mixtures comprising both heavy and light components along with chemical additives is of significant interest due to its relevance in the petroleum industry. Understanding the flow properties of these... more
Organic deposition predominantly in the near well bore and in production tubing can create serious oilfield problems such as flow restrictions, near wellbore damage, efficiency of crude processing units and etc. As the reservoir depleted... more
The optimization of artificial gas lift techniques plays a crucial role in the advancement of oil field development. This study focuses on investigating the impact of gas lift design and optimization on production outcomes within the... more

Gas hydrate formation in production and transmission pipelines and consequent plugging of these lines have been a major flow-assurance concern of the oil and gas industry for the last 75 years. Gas hydrate formation rate is one of the... more
The production of oil and natural gas contributes to a significant amount of revenue generation in Malaysia thereby strengthening the country’s economy. The flow assurance industry is faced with impediments during smooth operation of the... more
