Abstract

Abstract: Flow loop studies were conducted on live reservoir fluids from the Werner Bolley gas condensate well in Southern Wyoming to determine hydrate formation and plugging tendencies of the hydrocarbon fluids under field conditions. Field tests conducted by DeepStar in 1997 at Werner Bolley were summarized and the results were compared to data from flow loop studies. Subcooling measured in the flow loop was found to be comparable to that measured in the field near hydrate plug formations. Flow loop results indicated both the plugging tendency and the nature of plugging mechanism observed in the field. Used in conjunction with transient flow simulation, flow loop results indicated the most probable locations for plug formation.
