In most onshore gas transmission systems, use of a line heater maintains the flowing mixture temperature above the hydrate-formation temperature. A new analytical technique estimates the appropriate ...

A pair of valves positioned at the gas lift to produce double expansion addressed the main causes of hydrate formation in production from wells at Alrar-oil Rim field in Algeria, eliminating ...

Previously, KFU scientists were able to develop the first inhibitors based on castor oil and chitosan. Researchers came up with the idea to create them to solve at least two tasks: ensure efficient ...

The only one of its kind in Australia, the flow loop can simulate gas-liquid flows at high pressures and low temperatures – conditions that oil and gas pipelines are subjected to in deep-sea ...

Natural gas is currently the most widely used fuel for new power plants, mainly due to attractive gas pricing, low emissions and the favorable capital costs of gas turbine power plants. To meet the ...

A new coating could prevent methane clathrate clogs and blowouts in oil pipelines, potentially stopping a buildup of hydrate ices that slow or block oil and gas flow. When the Deepwater Horizon oil ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers synthesized and characterized a novel long-chain polyester polymer, polyacrylic acid advanced ester-styrene pour point depressant ...

Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

A paper appeared in Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering. Previously, KFU scientists were able to develop the first inhibitors based on castor oil and chitosan. Researchers came up with the ...
