In deepwater drilling applications, with the change of water depth and total well depth,
temperature and pressure will also change significantly. The low temperature and high …

The influence of the kinetic inhibitor poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) or PVP on hydrate
methane/propane hydrate formation was studied in pre-saturated liquid water with and …

A comparative investigation of methane hydrate formation from 0.1 wt% solutions of an
alkaline extract of humic acids (HA) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been carried out …

The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines and plugging of the gas flow path are a major
cause of operating expenses, safety issues, pressure drop, and fatal accidents. Therefore …

At a later stage of oilfield development, there will be more free water in the pipeline, which
may engender the phase inversion of water-in-oil emulsions, thereby augmenting the risk of …

One of the main challenges in deep-water drilling is gas-hydrate plugs, which make the
drilling unsafe. Some oil-based drilling fluids (OBDF) that would be used for deep-water …

The present paper aims at identifying suitable apparatus to perform KHIs test. Therefore, for
the first time, the comparison of rocking and stirred cells was performed based on KHIs …

A precise understanding of phase behavior for a variety of both artificial and natural
processes is essential to achieving scientific and technological goals. There has been …

Evaluation of kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) in laboratory high-pressure cells generally
yields scattered results. In this work we propose a procedure that consists of characterizing …

Methane hydrate formation and decomposition were investigated in the presence of the
kinetic inhibitor (Luvicap EG) and synergist (polyethylene oxide; PEO) using a high pressure …
