8:50AM - 9:00AM DAY 1 RECAP OPENING REMARKS
9:00AM - 9:30AM SOLVING FLOW ASSURANCE CHALLENGES IN MATURE FIELDS
“Asphaltene and paraffin are main challenges contributing in upstream oil companies... if we don’t find the
chemical solution or the operational solution to avoid the asphaltene build up, we’ll have production losses”
-
Innovations in paraffin and asphaltene control
-
Managing complex flow regimes
-
Regional case studies
9.30AM - 10:00AM BOOSTING PIPELINE PERFORMANCE WITH ADVANCED DRAG REDUCERS
​​
“Enhancing the production flow line through the injecting the drag reducer, especially the matured oil wells”
​
-
Applying DRAs in water-rich and mature systems
-
Field examples from the region

VI. EOR & ADVANCED CHEMISTRY
​10.30AM - 11:00AM DESIGNING NEXT-GENERATION EOR POLYMERS THAT WITHSTAND THE HEAT, SALINITY, AND HARSH CONDITIONS OF MIDDLE EAST RESERVOIRS
​
“In enhanced oil recovery, one of the major technical challenges lies in developing polymers that remain effective under reservoir conditions — achieving thermal stability, salt tolerance, and resistance to divalent ions are critical hurdles that must be overcome”
​​
-
Overcoming thermal breakdown, high salinity, and divalent-ion sensitivity
-
Reducing polymer loss from rock adsorption and poor injectivity
-
Translating field pilots into scalable, cost-effective solutions
11:00AM - 11:30PM EXPLORING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMISTRY
​
“Some vendors are proposing an alternative solution to avoid the salt accumulation in the gas wells through electrical signals”
​
