Projects which have continuous hydrate inhibition using MEG.

[ColourfulFigsnDiags]

Hi All,

Not quite sure whether this is the right place to pose this question ... but here goes anyway.

I'm looking for a fairly comprehensive list of large projects which have used (or intend to use) continuous MEG injection as the primary hydrate prevention strategy.

So far I have come up with the following:

Asgard in Norway
Snohvit in Norway
Orman Lange in Norway
Troll in Norway
Gjoa in Norway
KGD6 Reliance in India
Browse in Australia
Ichthys in Australia


I am sure there are others, but I am yet to find a comprehensive list?

This will be an extensive piece of research and is more likely to be the domain of process/flow assurance, or possibly pipeline, engineers who have kept a library of their own. What is your aim of assembling such a listing since you have captured some pretty major projects already.

Hi SJones,

I did start a Flow Assurance sub forum here but it was so poorly visited that it got closed down, which was a shame. guess flow assurance is still a little to specialised

I'm asking because I am currently involved in developing what will probably be the most extensive and complicated continuous MEG injection systems ever built. Therefore I am trying to build up a knowledge base of what has been done before and lessons learnt.

I am sure there are others that I am not aware of. By compiling the list I hope to research those to assist me in the development of my current project.

No others at all? I am surprised!

Dear CFD,

See if you can find a listing of low temperature projects or some projects where gas lift was used from the beginning. I would expect those systems to have continuous MEG injection.

Cheers,
S.

I commissioned the British Gas (BG) Rashpetco LNG plant near Alexandria Egypt a few years ago and it uses mega amounts of MEG. Continually injecting from the beach to the offshore installation through every flowline and then being recovered at point of injection.

Thanks VikingUK, that was one I didnt have! Any idea how much they inject?

sorry it's been a few years since I was on that project I don't have any details at all
