Development of a Prediction Model for Gas Hydrate Formation in Multiphase Pipelines by Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

A prediction model is developed by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to determine the gas hydrate formation kinetics in multiphase gas dominant pipelines with crude oil. Experiments are conducted to determine the rate of formation and reaction kinetics of hydrates formation in multiphase systems. Based on the results, an artificial intelligence model is proposed to predict the gas hydrate formation rate in multiphase transmission pipelines. Two ANN models are suggested with single-layer perceptron (SLP) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The MLP shows more accurate prediction when compared to SLP. The models were predicted accurately with high prediction accuracy both for the pure and multiphase systems.

Estimation of Thermodynamic Stability of Methane and Carbon Dioxide Hydrates in the Presence of Hydrogen Sulfide

“…Corrosion reaction increases fast when it combines oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). , Thus, they can significantly reduce the service life of transportation pipelines and processing facilities in the oil and gas industries. Natural gas that contains any of the acid gases like carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide is termed an acid gas. , …”

“…Natural gas that contains any of the acid gases like carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide is termed an acid gas. 15,18 In deep-water pipelines, the elimination of natural gas hydrates is prominent as their formation can pose a threat to both the economy and safety. Besides that, the presence of H 2 S in gas hydrates will aggravate the risk.…”

CO2 Hydrate Formation Kinetics in the Presence of a Layered Double Hydroxide Nanofluid

“…The chemical affinity model requires only macroscopic properties like the temperature and pressure and can also be used in the presence of additives. Several researchers have used artificial neural network (ANN)-based predictive models for different fields of applications such as gas hydrates [29][30][31], the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites [32], building energy consumption prediction [33], nanofluid properties [34,35], and petroleum quality measurements [36].…”
