🎥 Flow Assurance Videos

These were created some years ago with an older version of FlowlinePro:

  1. Erosion Mechanisms in Pipelines
    Erosion in pipes and bends
    Illustrates how flow velocity and particle content contribute to material wear, including examples of erosion in elbows and bends.

  2. Flow Regimes in Multiphase Flow
    Two Phase Flow Regimes
    Offers a visual breakdown of gas-liquid interactions under varying conditions, using realistic data from the Ormen Lange field.

  3. Steady-State Flow in Subsea Systems
    Note: Original Zeepipe simulation video is unavailable. Consider this alternative:
    How to build, run and evaluate a network hydraulics model
    Demonstrates steady-state multiphase flow modeling using PIPESIM, applicable to subsea pipelines.

  4. Transient Flow Dynamics in Zeepipe Pipeline
    Transient flow in long subsea gas pipelines
    Shows how pressure and flow evolve over time, with transient simulation results and axial plots.

  5. Three-Phase Flow in Ormen Lange Flowline
    Ormen Lange three-phase pipe flow
    Simulates gas, oil, and water interactions in a real-world subsea pipeline, including temperature and velocity profiles.

  6. Flow Assurance Simulators Overview
    DFC 2013 - Presentation 04
    Delivered by Dr. Ove Bratland at the Dynaflow conference, this presentation covers erosion, corrosion, and software selection strategies.

  7. Slug-Limit Curves in Practice
    India Energy Week 2024 | More Value, Lower Emissions ...
    Highlights the role of slug-limit curves in modern flow assurance strategies, with insights from Shell India.
