Enable a Risk Based Approach
Problem Definition
Gas hydrates are one of the major flow assurance challenges for the industry and are expected wherever gas meets water at high pressure and low temperature. Operators typically mitigate the risk of hydrates by continuous injection of chemical inhibitors (methanol or MEG) or by investing in tracer heated pipe for large subsea fields. These strategies are based on worst-case simulation projected over life of field and typically result in overdosing of chemicals.
Many operators are aware that their existing approach to hydrate risk is very conservative and are considering a move to a risk-based methodology. However, in order to do so, they need comfort and confidence that they can monitor, measure and manage risk throughout the production process.

How We Solve It
Blue Gentoo has an integrated approach to gas hydrate management. We can model and measure risk at the planning and production phases. We can monitor the adequacy and effectiveness of chemical inhibitor use during production. We can also continuously look for and detect early signs of hydrate formation so that steps can be taken to avert these. This all provides information, risk assurance and peace of mind for operators, which enables them to reap the economic benefits of a risk-based approach.
Benefits
Our technologies effectively reduce hydrate risk to provide greater production assurance and peace of mind. They result in significantly lower OPEX costs while averting the costs associated with a hydrate blockage (i.e., Deferred production income and high remediation costs).
