| dc.description.abstract | he oil and gas industry has been taking stringent measures to prevent the formation of hydrates which cause severe flow assurance issues due to pipe blockage, production loss and pose safety and environmental hazards due to pipe rupture and leakages. In this work the Process Simulation and Modeling software Unit Simulation (UNISIM) was used for the simulation of hydrate formation and prevention in subsea wells. To prevent the deposition of natural gas hydrate in subsea oil and gas wells, the hydrate formation area in wellbore must be predicted. The simulation results established methanol as a thermodynamic inhibitor and agree with literature as the 0%, 30% and 70% methanol injection composition respectively causes shifting to the left of the hydrate equilibrium curve reducing the hydrate formation area | |
