Session Managers: Amir Sani A Bak, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd.; Chang Boon Fuei, Shell

The management of solids and contaminants is a critical aspect of flow assurance, as these elements can lead to blockages, erosion, and operational inefficiencies in oil and gas production systems. This session will examine strategies to address challenges posed by solids such as sand, scales, hydrates, and corrosion products, alongside sulphur and mercury. Key topics include advanced separation technologies, chemical treatments, and predictive modelling tools aimed at minimising the impact of solids and contaminants on production integrity. Case studies will illustrate innovative approaches to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of hydrocarbons, reducing maintenance costs, and mitigating environmental risks.
