Halliburton has joined three other companies to form a flow assurance services alliance called SureStream Flow Assurance Service. The alliance includes Pipeline Engineering, Westport Technology, Subsea 7, Granherne, and KBR.

Halliburton made the announcement at the 16th Annual Deep Offshore Technology Conference in New Orleans yesterday.

SureStream will provide integrated support and services throughout all stages of a project, from inception, feasibility, front-end engineering design, and engineering through to remediation, intervention, and operational support, according to Jim Renfroe, senior vice president, Production Optimization Division, Halliburton's Energy Services Group.

"Our customers are finding that flow assurance is critical as more multiphase hydrocarbons are produced from deepwater fields and transported through lengthened delivery systems," Renfroe said. "With the practical experience and combined knowledge of these companies, we can deploy specialists to provide solutions to an extensive range of parameters affecting both flow assurance problems and system upsets."

SureStream Flow Assurance Service combines practical experience and extensive knowledge to offer a comprehensive service, which includes analytical service, engineering assessment, remediation, chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning, terminal cleaning, and intrusive intervention, he said.
