Gas hydrates are crystalline inclusion compounds, where molecular cages of water trap
lighter species under specific thermodynamic conditions. Hydrates play an essential role in …

Gas hydrates present a major flow assurance challenge due to the relatively fast timescales
at which they can form, agglomerate, and plug a subsea flowline, resulting in loss of …

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

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 …

Deepwater oil and gas development is extremely difficult and challenging. One of the most
critical challenges stems from hydrate deposition, aggregation, and the eventual blocking of …

During the production of marine natural gas hydrates, as gas hydrates are easily formed,
they tend to agglomerate, deposit on the pipe walls, and eventually block the pipe. In this …

The formation of gas hydrate plugs in deep water oil and gas flowlines poses severe
operational and safety hazards. Previous work has established a mechanism able to …

Clathrate hydrates can spontaneously form under typical conditions found in oil and gas
pipelines. The agglomeration of clathrates into large solid masses plugs the pipelines …

The formation of clathrate hydrates in pipelines is potentially threatening to exploration and
gas transportation in the petroleum industry. To reduce such risks, various surfactants have …

This study introduces a novel and promising strategy based on waterborne polymers for
hydrate and corrosion risk management and incompatibility issues between them. The …
