Flow assurance study of gathering pipeline system at a gas condensate field

Increasing demand for energy, along with fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, require a review of existing production, transportation and storage technologies for oil and gas. New technologies have been introduced for oil and gas well development that enhance production economics and efficiency. These technologies are showing success for drilling and production operations. However, a major obstacle has arisen as companies dig deeper underwater and underground: How to economically deliver valuable hydrocarbon resources from the reservoir to the end user. To this end, oil and gas producers and scientists have coined a new term: flow assurance. Flow assurance refers to the successful an
