Deepwater/Subsea Production - Trusted Flow Assurance Programs and Services

Subsea completions, particularly those in deepwater environments, often encounter extreme temperature and/or pressure conditions that may result in hydrate formation, paraffin wax and asphaltene precipitation, mineral scale and naphthenate deposits, and accelerated corrosion. All of these are known to create costly flow problems, reduce recovery, and defer production. Baker Hughes partners with oil and gas producers to consider the whole offshore and deepwater production scenario and solve flow assurance problems before they occur.

To help minimize up-front CAPEX costs, maximize production and prevent costly upsets, Baker Hughes offers you the FATHOM™ Certification Process for our highly effective subsea chemicals. This special designation means that all FATHOM™ Certified Chemicals undergo stringent testing and meet exacting standards for performance, material and physical compatibility, as well as capillary and umbilical stability. And, with our commitment to chemical supply security, you can rest assured knowing your offshore assets, anywhere in the world, will be producing at full capacity for their entire service life.
