Achieve trouble-free production with flow assurance support

Gaffney, Cline & Associates flow assurance experts support your work throughout the field development life cycle. Our production chemistry team applies proprietary models and workflows to understand potential flow assurance issues.

These models and workflows determine thermodynamic envelopes for solids deposition—such as wax, asphaltenes, and hydrates—throughout the production system. Our process identifies specific hot spots related to pressure, temperature, and choke settings, for example, to ensure trouble-free production.

Another very important part of this work is quantifying solids mass/volume so the proper intervention frequency and method can be planned confidently. This planning could include a pigging schedule.

Our flow assurance expertise includes chemical and mechanical corrosion prediction. Let us work with you to identify suitable metallurgies for completion tubulars and accessories. We also identify appropriate chemical treatment methods to mitigate risk of corrosion or elastomer seal failure.
