Flow assurance
The authors of this paper discuss a robust omniphobic surface treatment material shown to significantly reduce the adhesion of flow-assurance solids.
This paper presents software used to understand how foams can alleviate slugging in pipelines.
The authors of this paper describe a study of magnesian calcite particles forming hard, inhibitor-resistant calcium-carbonate-like deposits and potential mitigation measures.

Flow assurance effects from slugging and various types of solids deposition during engineering, design, maintenance, and operations still create challenging technical issues needing safe, economical solutions. The recurring long-term mitigation of flow assurance phenomena such as the deposition of wax, erosion, asphaltenes, corrosion, and salt, still demands attention… -
Aramco investigates expanding the use of lasers in the upstream sector of the oil field.

An integrated multidisciplinary work flow can improve the assessment of pipeline slugging fatigue for offshore field developments.
-
Flow-assurance effects from slug-flow engineering, design, maintenance, and operations technical concerns still create and sustain challenging technical issues requiring safe, economical solutions for both onshore unconventional and offshore conventional production facilities.

A review of the properties of iron compounds and their impact in shale produced water treatment with an emphasis on their colloidal forms. A wide range of problems is associated with these compounds in produced water including emulsion stabilization, oil-coated solids, pad formation in separators, pipeline solids, and plugging of water disposal formations.
