Introducing the first global congress specifically designed to determine the latest chemical strategies and technological advances that have been proven to cost-effectively predict, prevent and manage hydrates, asphaltenes and paraffin wax to guarantee subsea flow assurance in deep and ultra deepwater operations.

With hundreds of millions of dollars being invested in deepwater E&P operation across the world, each undertaking with the sole purpose of producing oil and gas, preventing and mitigating disruption to hydrocarbon flow is matter of commercial urgency.

As offshore operations become deeper, operational costs are increasing and pipelines are becoming more at risk of being blocked by hydrate formation and asphaltene and paraffin deposits. Operators are now urgently looking for new chemicals, innovations and technologies to reduce risks to hydrocarbon flow when accessing reservoirs offshore; a high responsibility task, which falls into the hands of flow assurance professionals

across the world.

It is now time to make way for the next generation of tried, tested and proven offshore flow assurance best practices that will prevent costly blockages or production losses even, in deep and ultra deepwater conditions.

The world’s first Global Subsea Flow Assurance Congress: Hydrate, Asphaltene & Paraffin Wax Management 2015 will bring together flow assurance experts from operators worldwide to deliver success stories on how they have predicted, prevented and managed hydrates, asphaltenes and paraffin wax in deep and ultra deepwater operations. Experts will present and discuss how challenges linked to hydrates, asphaltenes and paraffin wax can be overcome cost-effectively, and will delve into the specific risks and solutions for extended tiebacks, pipeline insulation, scaling up lab results to the field, subsea flow metering, multiphase flow modelling, and subsea abandonment.

• PRACTICAL, REAL LIFE CASE STUDIES: The first congress ever to focus not only on lab and pilot tests, but on real life subsea flow assurance case studies from operators

• THE ONLY EVENT PURELY FOR FLOW ASSURANCE PROFESSIONALS: The event will provide two whole days dedicated to practically minimizing key risks to flow assurance in deep and ultra deepwater operations resulting from hydrate, asphaltene and paraffin build up

• 100% OPERATOR LED: By presenting an agenda that is 100% designed by E&P professionals working in offshore operations, this congress is completely up-to-date on need to the know offshore flow assurance solutions

• ADDRESSING KEY RISKS: Presenters will deliver solution-focused approaches to common yet still not fully understood flow assurance threats focusing on subsea pipeline hydrate formation and asphaltene and paraffin wax depositions

• DEEP & ULTRA DEEPWATER FOCUS: By addressing the challenges specific to deep and ultra deepwater operations only relevant and transferable lessons, technologies and techniques will be the focus of attention

• GLOBAL FOCUS: Due to the transferability of lessons across deep and ultra deep reservoirs, the congress is taking a global focus drawing best practices from the US, Brazil, Norway, the North Sea and West Africa
