About Us
Flow Ahead provides independent flow assurance consulting and assurance to the energy industry, supporting operators, developers and engineering companies from early project definition through detailed design and operational troubleshooting.
Our work includes flow assurance studies, CO₂ transport and injection, production system analysis, Basis of Design development, independent technical review, and support for complex operational challenges. Every project is led directly by a senior consultant with more than twenty years of experience in multiphase flow and production systems.
Our Services
CO₂ Transport and Injection
Specialist support for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, including transportation networks, ship unloading, pipeline systems, injection wells, operating envelopes, pressure and temperature assessment, and injectivity evaluation.
Production Chemistry Support
Assessment of wax, asphaltene and scale risks, including troubleshooting, mitigation strategies and production chemistry support throughout the life of the asset.
Flow Assurance
Flow assurance studies for oil, gas and CO₂ transport systems, including steady-state and transient behaviour, operability, shutdown and restart, slugging, hydrate and thermal analysis, production optimisation and system performance evaluation
Technical Assurance
Independent review of flow assurance studies, engineering reports and simulation models. Verification of assumptions, methodologies and conclusions, helping clients identify risks, inconsistencies and opportunities before critical project decisions are made.
Basis of Design and Engineering Support
Preparation and review of Basis of Design documents, definition of operating cases, identification of design constraints and engineering support during concept selection, FEED and detailed design.
Operational Support
Technical assistance for production issues, unexpected operating behaviour, troubleshooting and performance improvement throughout the life of an asset.
