BSR (Bottom Simulating Reflector),velocity anomalies,amplitude blanking and waveform inversion are four seismic response characteristics of gas hydrate.
Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors (KHIs) offer an attractive option for the prevention of gas hydrate problems in hydrocarbon production operations,and are seeing increasing use within the industry as an alt
A dual-chemical inhibitor inhibition system may be deployed to ensure unimpeded flow in hydrocarbon transport pipelines.To monitor the concentration of the two chemical inhibitors and salt,a new metho
In wet gas and multiphase production systems,hydrate formation is a major concern because it can cause loss of production and require expensive remediation.The use of kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs)
Management of hydrate flow assurance issues has been a major concern in offshore and deepwater oil and gas production.Hydrate flow assurance strategies include the prevention of hydrate formation by u
In order to better understand the process of carbon dioxide hydrate formation and blockage,a series of experiments were performed in a high pressure hydrate experimental loop which has been constructe
Gas hydrate formation in deepwater oil and gas pipelines is typically avoided by using thermodynamic inhibitors,such as methanol or glycol,which simply shift the thermodynamic phase boundary for hydra
Using a dynamic loop,the flow characteristics and morphological evolvement of hydrate slurry in the presence of different hydrate inhibitors,concluding 15 wt %ethylene glycol (thermodynamic inhibitor)
Hydrophobically modified methacryl- and acrylamide polymers are well known kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs).Polymers of N-isopropylmethacrylamide (IPMAM) are now commercially available.
In March 2013,the first offshore production test of methane hydrates was conducted in the Daini Atsumi Knoll area of the Eastern Nankai Trough off the Pacific coast of Japan.
