    Abstract: Gas hydrates have repeatedly plagued the oil and gas industry by impeding flow and causing catastrophic damages to subsea pipelines and equipment. Several software as well as equipment have been developed to reduce hydrate plugs in the field. In this study, steady state simulation and dynamic state simulation on a laboratory hydrate loop was carrie... Show More
