Abstract

Gas hydrates are formed under high pressure and low temperatures. This is a major issue in offshore oil & gas industry. Traditionally it is managed by injecting thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors to prevent plugging the subsea pipeline. The work in this thesis deployed a high-pressure sapphire autoclave to develop the first ranking criteria in determining hydrate plugging risks, established valuable insights into hydrate formation at under-inhibited conditions whilst maintaining transportable hydrate slurry. This is relevant to industrial applications suggesting that the required amount of THI can be reduced with significant cost benefits.
