This project focuses on understanding and preventing gas hydrate blockages in oil and gas pipelines. By developing a computational model that integrates thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, it aims to create tools for predicting and managing hydrate formation.
Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds where a cage-like water structure surrounds an organic molecule such as methane.
They often form in oil and gas pipelines, where they stick to the inner walls clogging the flow.
When this happens, the blocked section of pipe needs to be cut out and replaced, resulting in long shutdowns of production.
The oil and gas industry spends more than 200 million euros per year to prevent such blockages and industry sources estimate the total costs for prevention and…
