Flow assurance governs the success of the fluid journey from reservoir to point of sale. Understanding the concept helps to ensure that any development plan—from exploration through abandonment—is technically viable and designed for optimal operations throughout the field's life. Multidisciplinary by nature, flow assurance involves
understanding the subsurface
fluid sampling and analysis
well and facilities design
production operations, including surveillance
production architecture.
Our flow assurance solutions consider the interactions among the reservoir, the well, the pipeline, and the process facilities. We can help select optimal systems and strategies that consider the challenges these interactions may present. Our delivery involves a process that captures client requirements and builds a project team that matches Schlumberger expertise to the flow assurance challenges.
