Abstract
This chapter presents an introduction to hydrate types and properties along with a full description regarding thermodynamic conditions for hydrate formation. Moreover, this chapter provides a thorough explanation regarding calculation of hydrate formation condition via empirical correlations, iterative method (K-value), and equations of state. Several examples for prediction hydrate formation condition via aforementioned methods are provided in this chapter. Furthermore, a detailed description about equation of states including The Cubic-Plus-Association equation of State, Peng–Robinson equation of State, and Perturbed Chain-Statistical Associating Fluid Theory are provided in this chapter. Next, useful info about hydrate deposition and hydrate inhibition methods are explained in this chapter. In addition, it provides the procedures for calculating the number of hydrate inhibitors, inhibitor loss in hydrocarbon phase, and inhibitor injection rates. In this regard, several real field examples are provided. Finally, at the end of the chapter, several useful problems are provided.
