With the development of oil and gas resources moving from onshore to offshore, hydrate
blockage issues in subsea flowlines have become increasingly prominent. Hydrate control …

All the oil and natural gas wells from underground reservoirs to the surface resemble flow
loops. Over the past couple of decades, a variety of flow loops have been established in …

Gas hydrate blockage is a major challenge in flow assurance. The mechanisms underlying
hydrate formation and blockage are still not well understood, and appropriate forecasting …

Gas hydrates are ice-like solids that can readily form and restrict flow in high-pressure
natural gas transmission lines. The use of antifreeze thermodynamic inhibitors dominated …

Pipeline blockage caused by hydrates and wax in subsea pipelines is a major hazard for
flow assurance in the petroleum industry. When hydrates and wax coexist in a flow system …

Gas hydrates are solid inclusion compounds that are composed of a three-dimensional
hydrogen-bonded network of water cages that can trap small gas molecules, such as …

The coupling deposition and plugging caused by hydrate formation and wax precipitation
during the development of deep water natural gas resources bring new industrial challenges …

Clathrate hydrate growth, deposition, and plug formation during oil and gas transportation
causes blockage of pipelines. An effective strategy to solve this problem is to mitigate the …

Slurries of cohesive particles constitute a significant risk during subsea petroleum
production due to their potential to plug the flow. This article describes a flow loop study of a …

Oil-water-gas co-transport often occurs in offshore oil/gas production, in which gas hydrate
formation could lead to severe flow assurance issues and subsequent safety and …
