Q1 - Calculate the temperature for hydrate formation at 1000 psia for a gas with the following composition
80% C1 , 10% C2 , 5% C3 , 5% N2. Use Katz and shortcut method ?
Solution
Katz method
shortcut method
1
Q2 – what is the minimum temperature The will permit expansion of the will permit expansion of the above gas
to 400 psia ?
Solution
From Fig 20-14 (sp.gr 1= 0.6) at ( P1=1000 psia and P2=400 psia ) = T1 = 77 °F
From Q1 sp.gr = 0.6714 T = ? °F
From Fig 20-15 (sp.gr 2 = 0.7) at ( P1=1000 psia and P2=400 psia ) = T2 = 102 °F
Interpolating at T1 and T2
Q3 – what is the minimum expansion pressure of the above gas that can be used without hydrate formation ?
Solution
From Fig 20-14 (sp.gr 1= 0.6) at ( P1=1000 psia and T1 = 80 °F ) = P1 = 340 psia
From Q1 sp.gr = 0.6714 P2 = ? psia
From Fig 20-15 (sp.gr 2 = 0.7) at ( P1=1000 psia and T1 = 80 °F ) = P2 = 800 psia
Interpolating at P1 and P2

102 - 77 =
T - 77
T = 94.85 °F
0.7 - 0.6 0.6714 - 0.6
800 - 340 =
P - 340
P = 688.44 psia
0.7 - 0.6 0.6714 - 0.6
Q 4 – estimate the inhibitor injection volume rate required to prevent hydrate formation for 80% C1 ,
15% C2 , 5% N2 the Pipe Line on the surface of the earth ?
Solution
32 °F ˃ 14 °F for DEG
