Objectives

At the end of this module, participant will be able to;
• 1. Conduct high level costing and sensitivity analysis to determine best business case using appropriate economic indicators i.e. CAPEX, OPEX, ROI, NPV and PBP.
• 2. Determine Hydrate formation points in the course of a gas transmission or Blowdown operation and hence advice appropriate mitigation technique.
• 3. List the conditions that favor hydrate formation under normal, offset, pre-startup operation and hence plan to mitigate hydrate formation.
• 4. Conduct Flow Assurance studies on piping/pipeline networks to determine best combination of piping/pipeline sizes to guaranty production in the desired fluid direction and hence determine Pressure, Temperature and Flowrate using specialized flow assurance software, specifically Pipephase by Esscor Simulation Sciences.
• 5. Know the difference between depressurization and Blowdown operations.
• 6. Develop simple macros to determine length of LTCS/LCSS/316SS required to guard against fatigue failure in CS piping due to depressurization or Blowdown operation.
