A MODELING APPROACH TO HYDRATE WALL GROWTH AND SLOUGHING IN A WATER SATURATED GAS PIPELINE

A hydrate plugging and formation model for oil and gas pipelines is becoming increasingly important as producers continue to push flow assurance boundaries. A key input for any hydrate plugging model is the rate of hydrate growth and the volume fraction of hydrate at a given time. This work investig...
