Abstract:Gas hydrates are solid compounds that can be formed during oil and gas production, causing interruptions in the flow of the produced fluids. Certain crude oil antiagglomerants promote the formation of stable hydrate slurries that do not block the production lines. In these cases, if hydrates are formed, they do not agglomerate, and the resulting slurry is flowable. As produced water composition may influence the stability and characteristics of water/oil emulsions, assessing the impact of water composition on … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
