In the current environment of intense scrutiny on capital and operational costs and more challenging reservoirs/fluids, this session focuses on subsea system design and operation to optimize expenditures and provide acceptable risk. Presentations will focus on addressing known flow assurance issues and providing operations flexibility rather than building a system designed for all worst-case conditions. Topics may include approaches to system configuration, insulation, chemical treatment, operational procedures, and other approaches to risk management by challenging levels of conservatism based on lessons learned from recent projects and operational experiences.

While flow assurance engineers aim for best practices in operations and design they are not always achieved or, when implemented, work out as expected. This session focuses on re-examining best practices where operators have had to address unforeseen issues while dealing with typical flow assurance challenges (hydrate, wax, asphaltene, scale, etc), especially around missing or erroneous design data.
