This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of OLGA Flow Assurance. It covers the challenges of flow assurance in oil and gas production systems; the key features and capabilities of OLGA software; the fundamentals of fluid flow in pipelines and system configuration in OLGA; running and analyzing simple simulations and interpreting data results and initial diagnostics; the PVT modeling, thermal modeling, slug capturing and hydrate formation and prevention; the wax deposition and management; and the use of OLGA for enhancing pipeline design and operational efficiency. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the transient flow phenomena, shut-in and start-up procedures and pressure surge analysis; the effective choke management and ensuring pipeline integrity and risk assessment; extending OLGA's capabilities through scripting; the advanced troubleshooting techniques by solving complex flow assurance problems; enhancing OLGA simulations with external tools and improving pipeline efficiency and performance; the reliability and sensitivity analysis; and addressing flow assurance in deepwater environments.
