About Us
Flow Ahead was founded to provide independent, pragmatic insight, combining OLGA expertise with fit for purpose use of laboratory and field Data. Since our foundation we have been supporting operators and consultancies worldwide.
Our Services
CCS / CO₂ Systems
We partner with you to address the flow assurance challenges unique to CCS projects — from emitters to the near-wellbore area. Our support includes defining feasible well injection envelopes and operational procedures to maintain system integrity. We model your system to evaluate water content limits, minimum pressure and temperature requirements for shutdown and restart, depressurization behavior, and the impact of impurities.
Our experience spans feasibility through FEED across the UK, Dutch, and Norwegian North Sea, where we have evaluated designs and risks for both depleted gas reservoirs and saline formations.
Flow Assurance Review
We provide an independent review of your flow assurance deliverables. Our reviews highlight potential risks and confirm design robustness. With our involvement, you gain confidence that your project decisions are justified and that hidden risks are not overlooked.
Operational Procedures
We work with your operations team to ensure procedures are not just written but truly workable in practice. Where gaps exist, we recommend improvements to reduce risk while keeping operations efficient.
Wax, Scale & Asphaltene Studies
We help you determine whether your fluids pose a risk of wax, scale or asphaltene precipitation. We recommend cost-effective management strategies that minimize downtime and safeguard production.
Flow Assurance Studies
From the earliest project stages through FEED, we help with your hydraulic evaluations and solid risk assessment. At each stage, we present practical management options to ensure your design is both technically robust and operationally practical.
Training
We offer practical training in flow assurance and dynamic simulations, combining applied theory with hands-on OLGA exercises.
