Hello,
Please can any one direct me to websites or books that i can read to get more knowledge on flow assurance in pipelines and wellbores and the mitigation of hydrate formation.Or if you have useful information on this topic,you can hint me on this.
Thanks.

I was actually thinking about asking for a flow assurance forum where questions and knowledge could be shared ... I\ll ask the admins, as there does not seem to be anything anywhere else on the web.

Very little on the web ... or anywhere else.

I've asked the forum manager for a new forum called "Flow Assurance" to be put in the petroleum engineering section. It is a growing field, and of increasing importance, particularly in stranded gas condensate fields. i recently presented a conference paper at the APPEA conference in Adelaide Australia on Flow assurance issues, it was well received but I was surprised at the broader lack of knowledge about the issues, particullarly the difficulties faced by long multiphase flowlines. I'm currently working in Norway as half of the flow assurance team on a large FPSO project, the knowledge over here is far in advance to Australia's.

I think a FA forum would be very good, and I encourage others to "second" my request by also asking the forum manager for such a forum by using the "contact us" link at the top right.
