Significant flow assurance challenges persist, including wax, paraffin, and asphaltene deposition, slugging and liquid handling, hydrates, and sand – particularly in deepwater, long distance tie-backs, and mature operations. 
This session will explore emerging solutions and technologies designed to prevent, manage, and mitigate these risks. Topics will include advanced chemical inhibitors, thermal management strategies, pipeline heating systems, and mechanical remediation techniques. This session will also highlight the role of predictive modelling and real-time monitoring in identifying and addressing risks before they affect production. Attendees will learn about cutting-edge approaches that not only tackle persistent flow assurance challenges but also drive operational excellence, safeguard production continuity, and optimise asset performance.
