Steady-State and Transient Flow assurance was performed for the FEED design of the onshore Transportation and Storage component of the Teesside infrastructure to support decarbonisation of industrial stakeholders in Teesside, including a new medium-pressure CO2 gathering network, along with HP compression facilities, to transport the collected emissions to the offshore storage site

Western Isles Pipelines: Sand Production Assessment

Following a sand incident, performed flow modelling to determine changes in pipeline hydraulic capacity before and after sand production (to confirm the presence of residual sand). The amount of sand deposited in the flowline based on production operations during the period of suspected sand production was determined, and the production flow rate required to entrain the flowline sand. The impact of residual sand on the pipeline flushing procedure planned for decommissioning was assessed

The study comprises the assessment of the steady state, slugging performance and transient operation of the flowlines that interconnect 13 well clusters to the Tendrara Gas Plant Central Process Facilities (CPF) where the gas is treated.

OFFSHORE PIPELINES PIGGING MODELLING FOR NEW PIG DESIGN: Flow Assurance Study

Perform a flow modelling study for the fourteen (14) infield flowlines. Developed an OLGA wax deposition and pigging model and tuned the model based on pigging field data and flow conditions; Utilise the benchmarked model to simulate expected pigging operations and determine the impact of pigging on liquid slug volume arrival at the reception platform; Utilise the pigging model to determine the optimal pigging velocity / sweep efficiency and the flowrate required to achieve this  (within the liquid and gas capacity of the facilities), to inform the current bypass solutions such that back-pressure and production loss is minimised, and to inform / support Dragon Oil in developing new pig bypass solutions and design

Tweedsmuir SP1 and TP1 Flow Assurance Study: Thermal Assessment and Hydrate Management Review

To inform operational requirements, performed the following analyses – asset model construction and benchmarking against actual pressure and temperature data, using the benchmarked model to determine the maximum allowable operating flow rates of the SP1 and TP1 wells (operating alone or together) that will ensure the maximum pipeline temperature limit is not exceeded. A review of the methanol requirements during start-up and how this can be minimised was also performed
