| Description | This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). The purpose of this project is to develop a gas hydrates prediction model for drilling fluids made from salts and glycerol. The model will include two prediction methods for the hydrate temperature suppression. High pressure hydrate equilibrium and resistivity data will be acquired in the first phase of the proposal. The second phase will involve the final development of the computer prediction model. The model will be verified against field and laboratory data. |
