Sand production from oil and gas wells is a major 
challenge to field operations worldwide. A success of the 
design depends upon the ability to predict erosion rates 
in multiphase production of oil and gas over the life of 
field. Failure to address the issue will result in severe 
financial and environmental consequences in the form of 
production loss, equipment failure, etc. affecting CAPEX 
and/or OPEX. Current market condition demands meticulous 
design and optimization to balance the oil and gas 
recovery economics.

Present Approaches to understand Erosion mechanisms:
- Small Scale Erosion Tests
- CFD Models
- Empirical Models

Issues with Present Erosion Mechanisms

- What are the Technological gaps and how to close the 
gaps? Establishing realistic erosion rate predictions for 
multiphase flow, fine particles, complex geometries are 
difficult
- How does over prediction and under prediction of 
erosion impact you?
- How good are the empirical models? How well do they 
match with experimental data? Where does it break down? 
Which erosion model you need to pick for your case?
- Some preliminary studies show API limits may not be 
always conservative 

In this webinar, you will gain insights on
- Pipeline erosion and its cost impact throughout field 
life-cycle
- Pros and cons of using the different mitigation 
technologies
- Using test or inspection data to improve your 
understanding of the erosion mechanisms
- Improving decision making ability during field 
development cycle and thereby leveraging improved 
production
- Implementing a condition based maintenance program
- What is PERMiT?  Its background and salient features
- Key PERMiT applications during design and operation 
phases
