... and platform’s water depth is 172 meters. The tieback between the manifold and platform is 22 kilometers and there are two production pipelines of 12-inch diameter connecting them. The thermo-hydraulic profile of the production fluid enters in hydrate formation region and hydrate thermodynamic inhibitor (MEG...

... water production. Thermodynamic inhibitors like monoethylene glycol (MEG) are frequently used to prevent hydrate formation. This paper describes the influence of MEG on the calcium carbonate scaling time by using a Dynamic Scale Loop System (DSL). The study also examines the influence of temperature...

... hydrate plugs will form in flowlines, will have significant utility for the flow assurance engineer in the oil and gas industry. By predicting gas hydrates formation and transportability, the gas hydrate model can be applied to design and optimize oil/gas transport facilities, focusing on prevention...

.... In this communication, systematic experiments were conducted to determine the effect of AA on apparent viscosity of water/oil/hydrate mixture at different AA concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 2% (w/w) of aqueous phase. The water cut in the emulsion was varied from 60% to 80%. Hydrate formation was controlled...
