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
