With the exploration and development of natural gas gradually extended to the deep sea,
low-temperature and high-pressure environmental conditions and long-distance …

As oil/gas subsea fields mature, the amount of water produced increases, which results in an
increased risk of gas hydrate plug formation in the flowlines. It is important to understand the …

The vast hydrocarbon resources (oil, gas, and gas hydrate) in deepwater areas are
considered one of the most significant resources of the future. However, the dangerous flow …

Flow assurance has been considered as a major technical problem in offshore oil and gas
facilities, where hydrate blockages are frequently encountered. Intensive efforts are thus …

Gas hydrate blockage is a major challenge in flow assurance. The mechanisms underlying
hydrate formation and blockage are still not well understood, and appropriate forecasting …

Hydrates of light hydrocarbons are frequently formed during the subsea petroleum
production. These crystalline ice-like solids may accumulate at concentrations sensitive from …

Slurry transportation through a pipeline is an essential element in modern processing and
mining industries across the globe. However, this mode of transportation is a complex …

To investigate the microprocess of hydrate particle agglomeration, a high-pressure visual
cell was used for repeated experiments of hydrate particle formation and flow from …

The present paper describes a study of Freon R11 hydrate deposition in a turbulent flow of
water. Eulerian–Eulerian CFD model was built in order to study the process numerically, the …

Water dominated flow is typically encountered in mature oil and gas fields after water
breakthrough has occurred; gas hydrate formation in these systems is generally associated …
