Particle agglomeration plays a major role in the mechanism of gas hydrate accumulation
and pipeline plugging. Gas hydrates are solid inclusion compounds composed of natural …

All the oil and natural gas wells from underground reservoirs to the surface resemble flow
loops. Over the past couple of decades, a variety of flow loops have been established in …

Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are prone to causing pipeline blockage in flow assurance,
attracting considerable attention in the petroleum industry. This work reviews the significant …

The natural gas hydrates formation and growth at 2 MPa and 277.15 K were studied at
different water cuts for water-in-condensate oil emulsions in the flow loop unit. The variations …

Clarifying the interaction effect between hydrate and wax is of great significance to
guarantee operation safety in deep water petroleum fields. Experiments in a high‐pressure …

As oil/gas exploitation moves into deep water, hydrate formation and plugging in flowline
have been a main concern of the flow assurance engineers. A series of experiments were …

Line blockage due to gas hydrate formation in water/oil emulsions can be understood by
considering the increase in the effective volume fraction $\varphi_ {eff} $ of dispersed …

The viscosity of natural gas hydrates slurry in high-pressure hydrates slurry rheological
measurement system is investigated, which is meaningful for hydrates risk management to …

As oil and/or gas exploration and production enter deeper water, the flow assurance
confronts challenges, one of which is the hydrate formation and blockage. Investigations …

Hydrate crystals' microscopic characteristics and agglomerating morphologies play an
important role in the hydrate reaction equipment's flow assurance and heat transfer. In order …
