Long-Term Flow Assurance In A Transportation System

摘要

A method and system for long-term flow assurance is provided. Data is periodically acquired from multiple transportation systems each having a transportation structure such as a pipeline, and a transported material such as hydrocarbons or oil and gas. The data is stored in a central location. A global predictive flow model is maintained based on the data acquired from the multiple transportation systems. A data set of a transportation system of the multiple transportation systems is analyzed via the global predictive flow model to determine a flow assurance issue of the transportation system.

1. A method for long-term flow assurance, comprising:
periodically acquiring data from multiple transportation systems each having a transportation structure and a transported material; storing the data in a central location; maintaining a global predictive flow model based on the data acquired from the multiple transportation systems; and analyzing via the global predictive flow model a data set of a transportation system of the multiple transportation systems to determine a flow assurance issue of the transportation system.
