New Study Will Examine Hydrate Blockage in Subsea Jumpers
with the simulated jumper and the results will provide new experimental evidence to determine the criteria and allowable conditions to restart subsea gas pipelines hydrate-inhibition strategies may be viable for high-risk geometries in the future. Dr Zachary Aman, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at The University of Western Australia added: “This project builds upon a strong track record on the unique, single-pass gas flowloop in Perth. Our new understanding of hydrate blockage formation in horizontal pipelines has led us to extend the flowloop capability with CSIRO toward the
