Reduced pressure drop in wet gas pipelines by injection of condensate

A method of reducing pressure drop between an inlet and an outlet of a flowline carrying a multiphase flow of gas and liquids, wherein at least 99% of the volume flow rate of the multiphase flow is gas, and wherein the liquids comprise water and hydrocarbon condensates; the method comprising: inject...

Zusammenfassung:A method of reducing pressure drop between an inlet and an outlet of a flowline carrying a multiphase flow of gas and liquids, wherein at least 99% of the volume flow rate of the multiphase flow is gas, and wherein the liquids comprise water and hydrocarbon condensates; the method comprising: injecting hydrocarbon condensate to the multiphase flow. Aspects include the hydrocarbon condensate is injected at a subsea well head of a gas producing system, or wherein the inlet of the flowline is an inlet of a gas export pipeline. The hydrate inhibitor may be monoethylene glycol, MEG, or triethylene glycol, TEG.
