Production Assurance can be improved by better understanding the interaction between production chemistry and materials in changing operating environments. Production risks associated with short-term deliverability or long-term integrity are driven by:

• Production Chemistry in terms of sour production, microbial activity, the potential for scale, wax and asphaltenes etc.
• Dynamic Production Environments in terms of Reservoir Souring, increasing Water Cuts, Sand Production, Production Commingling and Production Compatibility Issues.
• Operational Management in terms of Inhibitor Performance, Start-up and Shut-down Philosophies, mid/late field life water injection etc and operating conditions falling outside design envelopes.

Primarily focussed at well operations and optimising pipeline production infrastructure, CAPCIS provides a current assessment and future prediction of the production chemistry behaviour in dynamic oil and gas operating environments; as well as the necessary knowledge, expertise and testing facilities to trouble shoot production related issues. Our role is to provide our clients with the necessary rational for optimising production within available infrastructure constraints; pushing the boundaries of accepted operating and design envelopes; and identifying the requirement and timing for future intervention.
