Distribution of Gas Hydrate Inhibitor Monoethylene Glycol in Condensate and Water Systems: Experimental Measurement and Thermodynamic Modeling Using the Cubic-Plus-Association Equation of State
2014
The deepwater energy sector represents one of the major growth areas of the oil and gas industry today. To meet the challenges of hydrate formation, corrosion, scaling, and foaming, the oil and gas industry uses many chemicals and their use has increased significantly over the years. To inhibit gas hydrate formation in subsea pipelines, monoethylene glycol (MEG) and methanol are injected in large amounts. It is important to know the distribution of these chemicals in oil and water systems for economical operation of a production facility and environmental perspective. In this work, we present new data for liquid–liquid equilibrium of North Sea condensate + MEG and North Sea condensate + MEG + water systems for temperatures from 303.15 to 323.15 K and atmospheric pressure. These data are successfully modeled using the cubic-plus-association equation of state.
