    The document contains calculations to determine the minimum glycol (MEG) concentration needed to prevent hydrate formation for three natural gas wells (CN2, CN13, CN14) based on upstream and downstream pressure and temperature conditions. It involves calculating the water condensed per day, necessary hydrate freezing point depression, minimum MEG concentration in the free water phase using an equation, and the mass rate of MEG inhibitor required. The MEG injection rates needed for each well to prevent hydrate formation are then reported.

    Pozzo CN2 liv A Anno:

    P1= 155 Upstream gas pressure (barg)


    T1= 20 Upstream gas temperature oC (HYSYS)
    P2= 75 Downstream gas pressure (barg)
    T2= -5 Downstream gas temperature oC (HYSYS)
    Th= 13 Hydrate formation temperature oC at P=31.4 bar (HYSYS)
    Q= 283781 Gas flowrate (Sm3/d)
    Kh= 2335 Constante for MEG

    D= 1.11 MEG density (kg/dm3)
    XL= 80 % wt concentration of MEG
    QH2O= 50 kg/d; 5% of free water (assume)

    Step 1
    Calculate the amount of water condensed per day from fig. 20-3
    Win= 240 mg/Sm3 155 bar and 20 oC
    Wout= 70 mg/Sm 3
    75 bar and -0,5 oC
    DeltaW= 170 mg/Sm3
    MH2O= 48.24 kg/d H2O condensed
    MH2O= 50.00 kg/d free water
    MH2O= 98.24 kg/d total H2O
    Step 2
    Calculate necessary depression of the gas hydrate freezing point
    d= Th-T2+6 depression of the gas hydrate freezing point (oC)
    d= 24 o
    C
    Calculate minimum required MEG inhibitor concentration (XR) in the free water phase from Eq 20-4
    d= (Kh x XR) / ML (1-XR) Eq 20-4
    Solving for XL will result:
    XR= (d x ML) / (Kh + d x ML)
    XR= 0.390 MEG mass fraction
    Wt= 38.96 % MEG concentration
    Step 3
    Calculate mass rate of infibitor in water phase
    (assume 80% MEG is injected)
    ml= (XRxMH2O) / (XL-XR) Eq 20-6
    ml= 93.27 kg/d MEG for Sm /d3
