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 …

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 formation and accumulation of clathrate hydrates in oil/gas pipelines are responsible for
flow blockages. How to effectively prevent the blockage of hydrate in the pipeline? Pipeline …

The phase equilibria of hydrate are necessary to study the gas control/production from
marine sediments. Considering the abundance of chloride salts in the ocean, the phase …

Hydrates and waxes are supposed to coexist in the deep-water pipelines under suitable
conditions of low temperature and high pressure. Understanding the effect of precipitated …

Hydrate plugging in oil and gas transport pipelines is a crucial challenge to the safety of flow
and maintenance of pipelines. Specifically, the resins, the strongest polar component in …

Gas hydrate and asphaltene are two major flow assurance issues that will cause severe
plugging in the subsea transportation pipelines, but the detailed understanding of their …

Asphaltenes in crude oils may affect hydrate formation in water–oil emulsions, complicating
flow assurance and hydrate management in subsea oil–gas multiphase pipelines. In this …

Regarded as two of the most challenging flow assurance issues during the production of oil
and gas in offshore fields or ultra-deep seas, wax and hydrates may coexist in multiphase …
