Gas hydrates present a major flow assurance challenge due to the relatively fast timescales
at which they can form, agglomerate, and plug a subsea flowline, resulting in loss of …

As oil and gas production moves into ultra-deep water, hydrate blockage has been a major
flow assurance issue. Transport in the form of flowing hydrate slurry is an effective method to …

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 …

Solid gas hydrate particles may form in oil and gas pipelines in the presence of water at high
pressures and low temperatures; typical conditions of subsea hydrocarbon pipelines used in …

Hydrates cause serious flow assurance problems during deepwater operations (eg well
testing). In order to efficiently prevent wellbore/pipeline blockage, it is of great importance to …

Predicting the viscosity of hydrate slurries is essential in evaluating the transport
performance of oil and gas in deep-water pipelines and the risk of blockage. In this work …

We present a structural digital twin system based on component-based parametric reduced
order modeling using Reduced Basis Finite Element Analysis (RB-FEA) framework. This …

In offshore oil production, scheduled or emergency shutdowns of the production system may
occur due to maintenance, equipment failure, production issues, and weather-related …

Recently the concept of" no external gas hydrate control measures" has been proposed,
whereby gas hydrate formation can occur in oil and gas subsea pipelines during steady …

Gas hydrate formation is rarely an issue during continuous production conditions.
Unplanned and/or extended shut-downs comprise the majority of scenarios where …
