摘要
The efficient and safe exploitation of offshore oil and gas fields is a necessary means to practice the national deep sea strategy and explore the future strategic energy sources. Plugging of multiphase mixed transportation pipelines operating at low temperature and high pressure in deep water has become an urgent problem for safe production and flow assurance in energy industry, and the rapid formation of natural gas hydrate is the main trigger for this problem. To clarify the mechanism of hydrate slurry plugging in oil-water system, to develop green and environment-friendly low-dosage hydrate inhibitor, and to master the multi-phase flow characteristics of slurry will provide theoretical basis and technical guidance for multi-phase mixed transportation flow assurance in deep-water oil fields. To this end, this paper summarizes and outlines the research progress of flow assurance of hydrate slurry in oil-water system from the aspects of hydrate plugging mechanism, chemical methods to prevent and control hydrate plugging, and flow characteristics of hydrate slurry; it should further quantify the effect of these factors on flow resistance and pipe blockage, and establish a theoretical system for assessing the risk of hydrate blockage in industrial pipelines. With the aid of microscale experiments and molecular dynamics simulations, it will clarify the inhibition mechanism of different types of KHIs and the anti-agglomeration mechanism of AAs. It is also proposed that combining experimental exploration, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the coupling relationship between particle microscopic behavior and macroscopic physical parameters of flow field is analyzed to quantitatively characterize slurry rheology and flow resistance. © 2023 Chemical Industry Press.
