Hello, my name is Gladys Sucre and I want to invite you to this introduction to flow assurance course. I have been working in the discipline for almost 20 years starting with a masters in paraffin deposition in Tulsa University and then moving to industry where I worked among others for Shell and Eni before starting my own flow assurance consultancy.The course provides a general overview of the discipline. We are going to touch on the main topics. Mainly, PVT analysis, flow in pipelines, hydrates, wax, asphaltenes and scale. For each topic, a description of the problem will be provided, the risks that could be encountered during production explained and the available management options during field design and operations given. The course in one hour and twenty minute long with eight lectures and seven quizzes.At the end of this course, you will be able to understand the value that the flow assurance discipline can add and be able to have productive discussions with flow assurance engineers about your project or field requirements. You will also know which topics you are interested in learning more about. I am expecting to release detailed courses on each topic in the next few months. I am looking forward to seeing you in the course and answer questions you might have as you progress through the lectures. Come join us!
