Assumptions have been made about the hydrate inhibition characteristics of hydraulic / storage fluids in umbilicals due to the inclusion of MEG, but AFS has tested a dozen fluids to better assess their hydrate inhibition characteristics and develop the curves. The curves will be provided within this presentation and shared with the community. In addition, a short discussion on the displacement of umbilical fluids with production chemicals and the laboratory testing performed versus the calculated results utilizing laminar flow.

Description:

This course offers an overview of the expanding gas processing sector, which has been impacted by the rapid development of unconventional gas. It explains how rich natural gas is first separated into methane and NGL and transported to fractionation plants, where it is separated into ethane, LPGs (propane and butanes) and natural gasoline. Special attention is given to the various uses for these liquid hydrocarbons, the market prices and economics of various rich gas streams when separated and marketed into individual components and their historical international market supply-demand and pricing profiles.

Duration:  2 hours
