Dear Colleagues and Fellow Flow Assurance Professionals,
As we navigate an evolving energy landscape, the importance of Flow Assurance has never been more critical. Whether we are addressing the complexities of deepwater developments, late-life asset management, or the nuances of gas hydrate formation in multiphase systems, our collective expertise ensures the safe and efficient transport of oil and gas from the reservoir to the point of sale.
While my own recent focus has been on advancing state-of-the-art modeling for hydrate kinetics, I am constantly reminded that the strength of our SPE Technical Section lies in its diversity. From wax and asphaltene management to scale inhibition and computational fluid dynamics, our community thrives when we share insights across all disciplines.
I am excited to announce that we are officially reactivating our webinar series. These sessions will provide a platform for global experts to share the latest research, field experiences, and technological breakthroughs directly with you, regardless of your location.
However, we also recognize the irreplaceable value of face-to-face interaction. To foster deeper connections, we are considering planning a series of in-person events in Houston, Texas. These meetings will offer a unique opportunity to listen to high-quality presentations on trending industry topics, but most importantly dedicated time to reconnect with the local flow assurance community, meet your peers, and build professional relationships.
The success of the Flow Assurance Technical Section depends on your engagement. We want to ensure our programming aligns with the challenges you face in the field every day.
I look forward to seeing you online soon, and hopefully in person in Houston!
Best regards,
Luis Zerpa
Chairperson
SPE Flow Assurance Technical Section
