Flow assurance is the most important issue during the deep-sea oil/gas production. Hydrate
formation is one typical flow assurance problem which draws much attention. In the flow …

Clarifying the effect of asphaltene on hydrate formation and growth is of great significance to
the operation safety in deepwater petroleum fields. To investigate the influence of low …

The deposition of hydrate and wax in the oil–gas pipelines are two of the flow assurance
issues during the subsea oil production, they could reduce the cross-sectional area and …

During the production and transportation of deep-water oil and gas, the low-temperature and
high-pressure operating environment might induce hydrate formation and eventual …

To alleviate the severity of hydrate formation in subsea oil and gas pipelines, the injection of
anti-agglomerants (AAs) is one of the promising approaches. In this work, we investigate the …

Investigation of the effect of asphaltenes, the natural surfactant in crude oil, on the methane
hydrate formation is crucial for flow assurance in deep-water oil and gas field. However …

As a kind of typical natural surface-active substance, asphaltenes can not only lead to
deposition and plugging accidents, but also affect the formation and slurry flow of hydrate …

During the production of offshore oil and gas, the cooling of hydrocarbons toward seafloor
temperatures enables the formation of gas hydrates, which may restrict fluid flow and …

Natural gas hydrates can readily form in deep-water oil production processes and pose a
great threat to the oil industry. Moreover, the coexistence of hydrate and asphaltene can …

Clathrate hydrates are icelike solid substances that can form inside oil and gas pipelines
and are responsible for flow blockages, sometimes leading to catastrophic failures …
