Study on Hydrate Inhibitor to Prevent Freeze-Plugging of Gas-Condensate Well

Article Preview

Abstract:

The phenomenon of hydrate freeze-plugging is very widespread in Jilin oilfield M gas field exploitation. Freeze-plugging tends to occur in winter, mainly including ground pipeline, wellhead and wellbore freeze-plugging, etc, which affects the normal production of gas well, also has restricted the gas reservoir development and will cause huge economic losses. In order to prevent the freeze-plugging occurred in gas well, methyl alcohol is used to inject into single well at the rate of 600 to 3080 L/day. The field condition shows that the result of injecting methanol is not obvious, besides, the toxicity of methanol and its high cost already cannot satisfy the oilfield actual demand. Therefore, we need to research and develop new hydrate inhibitors with low cost and high efficiency to solve the problem of freeze-plugging.
