GoFlo® is a new flow remediation system Halliburton has developed to remove restrictions and blockages from subsea flowlines and pipelines. GoFlo reinstates flowlines and pipelines, providing a quicker, less costly and more environmentally-sound solution than line replacement.
GoFlo deploys smart composite coiled tubing into flowlines and applies a combination of chemical, mechanical and thermal treatments to clear blockages. Halliburton offers a suite of remediation solutions that help eliminate restrictions and blockages caused by viscous organics, hydrates, scales and mechanical/debris.
