pigging

Machine learning and a decade of gas composition records helped the operator identify wells that were most likely to produce paraffins.

The authors of this paper discuss a robust omniphobic surface treatment material shown to significantly reduce the adhesion of flow-assurance solids.

New Pig-Launcher System Aims To Reduce Development Costs

Natural-gas-infrastructure reliability is critical for the energy sector. When capitalizing on old pipelines to transport natural gas, operators run the risk of partial blockage. In this study, the authors develop a multirate test method to detect partial blockage in a gas pipeline.

This paper presents the results of tests conducted to design a fast-breaking gelled fluid for a debris-removal operation in a long, large-diameter subsea pipeline in the Asia Pacific region. where traditional pigging was not an option.
