Flow Assurance refers to the discipline and set of activities focused on ensuring the uninterrupted, safe, and efficient flow of hydrocarbons (oil, gas, condensates, water, and associated fluids) from the reservoir to the processing or export facilities.

The scope of Flow Assurance covers the identification, analysis, prevention, and mitigation of issues that may hinder flow performance throughout the life of the field.

To analyze and address potential flow-related challenges in the production system and ensure continuous, safe, and cost-effective fluid transport under all operational scenarios (start-up, normal operation, shut-down, restart).
