Tridiagonal Solutions > Projects > Flow assurance and erosion in Oil & Gas industry

The oil & gas industry is focused on developing innovative technologies that enables exploration and production operations in harsh and deeper environments. Tridiagonal with its innovative R&D facility and related services helps to minimize costs, save time, increase overall equipment effectiveness, and mitigate risks associated in developing new/mature oil & gas fields. Many of the key operational activities such drilling & completions, subsea & topside facility design, and platform/riser design involves solving fluid flow & heat transfer problems. Tridiagonal is actively involved in providing CFD, Experimental Testing, Software Development, solutions for projects across the gamut of operations in the oil and gas industry.  

Tridiagonal is involved in offering services such as:

  • Analyze Pressure Drop and Erosion Patterns in Downhole Tools
  • Cement Displacement Studies
  • Multiphase Separators and Slug Catcher Performance Evaluation
  • Wind Loading and Gas Dispersion Analysis
  • Flushing Studies in Pipelines and Jumpers
  • Sand Screen Erosion Testing
  • Flow Induced Vibration
  • Sand Transport in Piping Networks including Sand Detection, Erosion and ASD Calibration
  • Wax Deposition

Tridiagonal is actively involved in R&D projects and Joint-Industry-Programs (JIP) with global companies. We work with oil and gas industry majors, independents, national oil companies, global owner-operator, service providers, process equipment designers, and EPC firms. A key offering for the Oil & Gas industry is the Multiphase Flow and Flow Assurance Test facility. This 250,000 square feet test facility is home to some of the most unique flow loops.
