Flow Assurance and Sour Gas in Natural Gas Production

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze flow assurance and sour gas problems in naturalgas production in Indonesia, Venezuela and Russia. Hydrate and wax appearance are thetraditional issues for Russian offshore gas production. This study considers flow assurance atSakhalin-2 project on Russian Continental Shelf. Monoethylene glycol system is used to prevent hydrate formation in multiphase pipelines. Wax prevention strategy is based on theregular cleaning of pipelines and flowlines.In the case of Indonesia, the main component of natural gas reservoirs is CO2. In the Natunafield CO2
represents 71% of the gas. Despite of this, Natuna is very attractive for thesignificant quantity of natural gas deposited in this field. The present study shows thedifferent technological alternative of treatment and disposal of CO2
in Natuna.Regarding to the Venezuelan case, there are significant reserves of natural gas associated withheavy and extra-heavy oil. It is necessary to ensure the heavy and extra-heavy oil productionand transport to exploit natural gas there. This paper explains the challenges and possiblealternatives of heavy and extra-heavy oil exploitation in Venezuela, especially in the OrinocoOil Belt. This report reveals the current situation in the Orinoco Oil Belt, including some political issues, and the technology applied there.
