flow assurance

Flow assurance refers to the strategies and technologies used to ensure the smooth transport of oil and gas from production sites to processing facilities and ultimately to consumers. It addresses potential issues like blockages, pressure drops, and temperature changes in pipelines, which can lead to production delays or loss of resources. By effectively managing these challenges, flow assurance helps maintain the efficiency and reliability of energy supply chains, ensuring that the extracted hydrocarbons can flow continuously and safely through the infrastructure designed to carry them.
