Problems of Hydrate Formation in Oil and Gas Pipes Deals

Iran among countries which have rich reserves of natural gas is one of the issues related to natural gas; gas hydrate formation that can cause problems in oiland gas industries to make, though the recent formation of hydrate as an advantage special use is named. But the hydrate formation in natural gaspipelines increased flow pressure drop flow path blockage and sometimes explosive pipeline will flow every year and ultimately lead to injury very muchfor the cost of oil and gas industry in Iran and around the world is. Hence the ability to predict hydrate formation conditions from the standpoint ofproduction process, transfer and utilization is important and can prevent unexpected problems. In terms of structure, the solid hydrate material is aphysical mixture of water with some hydrocarbons in the natural gas comes despite apparent or like ice, its properties are different
