Formerly, additives were only used to inhibit the formation of solid hydrates in pipelines and
maintain a safe and economic fuel transportation. Recently, their role has reversed in newly …

Gas hydrate formation is one of the most serious challenges for flow assurance in oil and
gas transportation pipelines as it causes severe safety, environmental, and economic …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used in the upstream petroleum industry for
about 25 years to prevent plugging of flow lines with gas hydrates. The main ingredients in …

In oil, natural gas processing and transmission, gas hydrate blockage and corrosion are two
major flow assurance problems associated with transportation through steel pipelines which …

Ionic liquids have emerged as a promising new material for a wide range of industrial
applications, because of their unique structures and properties. Ionic liquids possess …

Gas hydrate inhibition is a relevant topic of flow assurance. Thermodynamic hydrate
inhibitors (THIs) and kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are applied to prevent gas hydrates …

Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in
the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant …

The formation of gas hydrates is a major issue during the operation of oil and gas pipelines,
because gas hydrates cause plugging, thereby disrupting the normal oil and gas flows. A …

During the development and application of natural gas, hydrate plugging the pipelines is a
very important issue to solve. Currently, adding thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THIs) and …
