Deepwater Offshore & Subsea Field Flow Assurance Engineering (DOSFAW) Level 1 & Level 2

Description

Deepwater Offshore & Subsea Field Flow Assurance Engineering (DOSFAW) is a comprehensive training program designed to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the safe and efficient flow of oil and gas in deepwater offshore and subsea fields. The course is divided into two levels, Level 1 and Level 2, each focusing on different aspects of flow assurance engineering.

Level 1: The DOSFAW Level 1 course serves as an introduction to flow assurance engineering. Participants learn the fundamental principles and concepts related to flow assurance in deepwater and subsea environments. This includes understanding fluid properties, thermodynamics, flow behavior, pipeline design, and production chemistry. The course also covers key challenges specific to deepwater operations, such as hydrate formation, wax deposition, and erosion.

Level 2: Building upon the foundation established in Level 1, DOSFAW Level 2 delves into more advanced topics in flow assurance engineering. This includes in-depth studies of multiphase flow, hydrate management, wax and asphaltene deposition, and other complex phenomena. The course emphasizes problem-solving strategies and provides real-world case studies to enhance participants’ ability to design and implement effective flow assurance strategies.

Both levels of the DOSFAW course place a strong emphasis on practical applications and industry best practices. Engineers learn how to analyze and address flow assurance challenges through a combination of theoretical instruction, hands-on exercises, and interactive discussions. The courses are designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of flow assurance concepts and equip them with the skills needed to optimize production and mitigate risks in deepwater offshore and subsea fields.

Deepwater Offshore & Subsea Field Flow Assurance Engineering (DOSFAW) Level 1 & Level 2 covers Subsea Fields i.e. Types of Fields, Engineering Phases e.g.Feasibility / Concept Phases, Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase, Operation, Tail End Production / Increase Oil (Gas) Recovery (IOR), Main Flow Assurance Challenges in System Design Fluid Properties, Pipe Flow, Hest Transfer, Hydrates i.e. Hydrate Control Strategy, Hydrate Prevention, Hydrate Control Remediation etc. Flow Induced Vibration & Fatigue, Wax, Erosion i.e. Causes of Erosion, Cavitation, Erosion Corrossion, Sand Production and Erosion due to Produced Sand and more

DOSFAW Level 1 & Level 2 is designed to provide detailed knowledge of Deepwater Subsea Field Development & Systems Integration Engineering and will assist those who are switching or enhancing there career in deep and ultra deepwaters subsea engineering.
