文摘

In petroleum exploration and production operations, gas hydrates pose serious flow assurance, economic and safety concerns. Thermodynamic inhibitors are widely used to reduce the risks associated with gas hydrate formation. In the present study, systematic laboratory work was undertaken to determine synergistic effects between methanol and a Poly Vinyl Methyl Ether as Low Dosage Hydrate Inhibitors (LDHIs). A valuable effect was discovered at a certain ratio of methanol to the low dosage hydrate inhibitor.
