2016 - RASGAS, Flow Assurance Looping Expansion Project, Qatar
Summary
This project was designed to enhance the flow assurance of natural gas transportation systems, preventing hydrate formation and ensuring continuous gas supply.
Challanges
Flow assurance is critical in gas transmission, as blockages and pressure drops can lead to unplanned shutdowns. The challenge was to model and mitigate potential flow assurance issues while optimizing the reliability of transportation infrastructure.
Solution
Developed reliability models to predict system behavior under different operating conditions.
Applied advanced computational simulations to assess flow dynamics and identify potential failure points.
Facilitated workshops to implement risk-based maintenance strategies for pipeline integrity.
Provided recommendations for improved insulation, chemical injection strategies, and redundancy planning.
