... continuous production. Hydrates become a major concern especially during unplanned shutdowns and restarts. Therefore, this work focuses only on hydrate transient results. Industrially relevant scenarios are investigated by looking into gas hydrate formation and its effect on fluid transportability through...

... to continuous production. Often in offshore production, there are unplanned shut-ins that could lead to increased operational hazards. Despite the practical importance, few studies have addressed the hydrate plugging mechanisms during transient operation. To investigate hydrate transportability in transient...

... Abstract Gas hydrates are crystalline solids that can plug subsea oil and gas flowlines and are considered a major flow assurance problem. The risk of hydrate plug formation is significantly increased when free water is present in the flowline. Transportability of hydrates has a strong...
