Flow Assurance (Advanced, 5 Days)

Description

The five days flow assurance course is more suited for engineers who have already attended the three days course and expect more rigorous inputs in flow assurance in pipelines. In addition to providing more advanced inputs in the underlying theory, the course includes step-by-step calculations which is vital for developing an in-depth understanding of the concepts. The course also includes hands on experience on Spectrum Pipelines Flow Assurance Software Package which further consolidates the concepts and provides an insight into how the concepts are applied in projects scenarios. The examples used in the calculations are taken from real project database.
