Natural Gas Hydrate Mitigation in Subsea Flow Assurance

Natural gas hydrate formation in subsea pipelines is a major problem in the upstream petroleum industry. Gas hydrates are formed at high pressures and low temperatures when water lattice with cavities trap gas molecules such as methane. Hydrates are solid deposits that clog subsea flowlinesand increase pressure drops across the pipeline, and under severe conditions can completely stop flow through pipelines resulting in tremendous production losses. This course briefly explain the structure and mechanism of gas hydrate formation and provide the audience with an overview of various gas hydrate prevention and mitigation technology used in the upstream petroleum industry. The manuscript discusses important methods used in the industry, such as chemical injection, depressurization, thermal stimulation, and mechanical removal by summarizing work from over hundred reports. Relative merits and demerits of these methods are also discussed. In addition, some interesting research results are also reviewed. This course conclude by providing a tables howing the relative technology readiness level for each method. Also, potential areas of future research are discussed
