WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
A problem-based learning approach to gas
hydrate related problems.
Every year, oil
and gas companies spend roughly more than half a billion dollars on chemical
inhibitors to prevent gas hydrate plugging.Applied Gas Hydrate course presented by Petro1 will focus on the practical aspects of
applied gas hydrates. The 4-day programme covers – among many things – hydrate
formation conditions, inhibitor design strategies, application of
thermodynamics and low dosage hydrate inhibitors, and hydrate blockage removal
techniques.
The
course aims to provide participants with hands-on experience in the evaluation
of gas hydrate problems during different production scenarios. Through this, participants will learn how
to apply theoretical knowledge to solve various hydrate related operational
problems, and increase the reliability in hydrate prevention strategy. New
approaches for avoiding hydrate safety margin monitoring, early detection
systems and cold flow will also be discussed in detail.
Additionally, participants will be given
access to a 30-day trial of HydraFLASH – a gas hydrate and PVT prediction
software – to practice some of the course materials in their own spare time.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- What
are gas hydrates and what can lead to their formation
- How and
why gas hydrates can form and how to evaluate risks
- Screening
and choosing the most appropriate option for avoiding gas hydrate problems
- Designing
hydrate prevention strategy in the most challenging conditions
- Determining
dose rate and optimizing inhibitor injection rates
- New
technologies for monitoring hydrate safety margins and early detection
systems
- New
findings on Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors (KHI)
- Practical
solutions to gas hydrate problems that can arise
- Explore
and apply international case-studies, examples, strategies, application of
computer models and empirical techniques in tutorial sessions which will
provide further hands on experience
