As flow assurance challenges intensify across deepwater and frontier developments, delivering reliable and cost-effective solutions increasingly depends on closer, more strategic collaboration across the production system.

Panellists will discuss how partnerships between operators, contractors, technology providers, and SMEs can enable more integrated and flexible flow assurance strategies, particularly during appraisal and early development phases where technical uncertainty, capital discipline, and risk management are closely linked.

Topics to be discussed include: ·

• Collaborative models to strengthen subsurface-to-surface integration and system-level decision-making
• Co-development of fit-for-purpose chemical and thermal management strategies
• Approaches to accelerate deployment of digital monitoring, analytics, and predictive capabilities

Session Managers: Mark Gough, Business Development Manager, Clariant Oil Services; Lakshmi Narayana, Production Technology (Flow Assurance/Production Chemistry), PETRONAS; Noorazlenawati Borhan, Staff, Production Chemistry, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd.; Matt Streets, Principal Scientist and Director, Rawwater Engineering Company Limited; M Farouk Ibrahim, Senior Chemist, Vestigo Petroleum

This session will explore integrated chemical treatment strategies to optimise production, ensure flow assurance, and mitigate risks associated with scale, corrosion, and microbial growth, as well as advances in production chemistry that can enhance asset integrity, improve operational efficiency, and support environmental compliance across increasingly complex production systems, while addressing evolving technical and operational challenges.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Emerging challenges in corrosion and impurity management across complex production systems
• Advances in produced water chemistry and solids management techniques
• Innovative production chemistry solutions, including design against hydrates (NADAH), nanotechnology applications, and environmentally conscious inhibitors
• Strategies for production enhancement through optimised chemical intervention

This session will explore how digitalisation and intelligent solutions are reshaping flow assurance practices, enabling more predictive, automated, and cost-effective operations.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Digitalisation strategies to enhance flow assurance and operational efficiency
• Application of advanced modelling, artificial intelligence, and hybrid physics-AI workflows
• Automation and real-time monitoring through digital twins, edge analytics, and IoT
• Integration of digital innovations across R&D stages, from concept to deployment
• Leveraging predictive and prescriptive approaches to reduce downtime and improve system reliability

This session will explore emerging flow assurance challenges associated with energy transition fluids - including hydrogen, ammonia; and CCS applications, while drawing on lessons learnt from hydrocarbon flow assurance. Participants will gain insights into managing supercritical transport, impurities, multiphase behaviour in non-hydrocarbon systems, as well as corrosion and transient effects during shutdown, start-up, and ramp-up operations.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Flow assurance strategies for hydrogen, ammonia, and CCS fluids
• Multiphase behaviour and impurity management in non-hydrocarbon systems
• Corrosion and operational flow assurance risks
• Reuse of oil and gas pipelines and infrastructure for CCS and hydrogen transport
• Knowledge transfer from hydrocarbon flow assurance to energy transition
