Essentials of Flow Assurance Solids in Oil and Gas Operations: Understanding Fundamentals, Characterization, Prediction, Environmental Safety, and Management

Flow  assurance solids deposition is one of the main challenges in oil and  gas production operations with millions of dollars spent annually on  their mitigation. Essentials of Flow Assurance Solids in Oil and Gas Operations works as an all-inclusive reference for engineers and researchers,  covering all the different types of solids that are commonly encountered  in oil and gas fields. Structured to flow through real-world  operations, the reference branches through each solid deposit problem  where the root causes are as well as modeling, monitoring,  characterization, and management strategies, all comprehensively  reviewed in the light of contemporary research breakthroughs. Backed by  several field case studies, Essentials of Flow Assurance Solids in Oil and Gas Operations gives petroleum and reservoir engineers a resource to correlate between  the theoretical fundamentals and field practical applications allowing  for sustainable and optimal operations. 

• Provides  the main operations of oil and gas fields, the characteristics of  produced fluids, and the main flow assurance challenges
• Furnishes  the basic principles of deposits formation and mitigation, starting  with a full investigation of the problems, then mechanisms, causes,  predictions, modelling, and sample analysis, followed by management
• Distinctively  discusses the operational and environmental implications of flow  assurance solids and their management using chemical and nonchemical  methods
• Teaches engineers through impactful visuals and data sets included in every chapter
