Ice (in the form of gas hydrates) is a major concern for producers and developers of oil and gas fields. Hydrates form when natural gas mixes with water at high pressure and low temperature. These block or restrict hydrocarbon flow and impact the reliability of supply.
Traditional methods of hydrate management involve injecting large quantities of MEG into the hydrocarbon stream. Due to the fear of hydrate formation, injection often becomes a strategy of over-dosing based on the worst-case scenario. This costs the industry millions of dollars per year in additional opex and capex costs as well as an increased environmental footprint. Yet even with an over-dosing strategy, hydrates remain a significant and on-going risk to production.
With its technology and expertise, Blue Gentoo provides its clients with the knowledge to actively manage gas hydrate risks and in particular the MEG injection process. This provides greater flow assurance, delivers cost savings and environmental benefits. We offer an integrated hydrate management solution, comprising patented technology and software, project management, consultancy and training. We also provide trouble-shooting and support for hydrate remediation operations.
