Gas hydrates pose the major flow assurance problem in the production and transportation of oil and gas.As production moves to hasher environment (deeper water,longer tiebacks,more produced water),prevention,management,and remediation of hydrates are central for safe and continuous operation.In this contribution,we will provide a comprehensive view of hydrates in flow assurance,in particular,the prevention,management,and remediation strategies that have been developed over several decades at the Center for Hydrate Research at the Colorado School of Mines.
