The formation of natural gas hydrates can be a serious problem in oil and gas production.
Problems associated with gas hydrate formation include:
- Reduced gas throughput.
- Clogged discharge lines.
- Increased pressure differential in the collection system.
- Erosion.
- Damage to downstream equipment.
- Increased safety concerns.
Unlike other types of plugging agents that take considerable time to accumulate in pipelines, such as sand, paraffin or scale, hydrate formation is rapid (often a few hours to plug a pipeline) and, in some cases, catastrophic. Therefore, hydrate prevention is a key strategy for hydrate control in production operations.
For these purposes "RauanNTech" LLP offer application of highly effective hydrate deposit removers of "Rauan" series, successfully applied at many oil and gas fields of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
