Abstract: Hydrate formation in horizontal subsea flowlines can pose serious issues during petroleum production. In this study, a 12 meters laboratory flowline that closely mimics the conditions in a horizontal flowline is used to analyse Poly Vinyl Caprolactam's performance (PVCap) as a hydrate inhibitor. The 1/2inch diameter 12meter closed laboratory loop i... Show More
