COURSE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
In natural gas processing and transmission, the problems of hydrate formation and corrosion accounted as leading predicament facing by the flow assurance engineers which leads to severe safety and economic losses especially production activities progress into deeper waters, flow assurance challenges become more prevalent. To overcome these flow assurance issue, the oil and gas industry is injecting different types of gas hydrate and corrosion inhibitors. However, the injection of these chemicals has a counter or side effect on inhibition performance in the flow line. Moreover, these chemicals demand large infrastructure such as storage tanks, a complex regeneration process, injection pumps, and subsea distribution pipelines plus presence of electrolyte ions in the formation water may induce operational issues such as scale deposition and hydrate inhibitor loss. Thus it is important to understand the issues and chemical treatment in hydrocarbon pipeline.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Thermodynamic, kinetic and adsorption behavior of chemicals.
Application of multipurpose gas hydrate and corrosion inhibitor in gas processing pipeline.
1. Dr Bhajan Lal (UTP)
Dr. Bhajan Lal is senior lecturer in Chemical Engineering Department at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He is core research member of Carbon Dioxide Research Centre in Institute of Contaminant Management at UTP. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, he worked as postdoctoral research fellow and Research Scientist in USA, Canada, South Africa, Turkey, and Malaysia. His main areas of research interests are clathrate hydrates, CO2 capture and storage, natural gas storage, flow assurance (gas hydrate as well as corrosion), gas hydrate-based wastewater treatment, and water-based drilling fluid. He supervised master, Ph.D., and postdoc students since 2013. He has published 80 peer-reviewed journal papers, 38 conference papers, and 4 book chapters and 2 books titled “Chemical Additives for Gas Hydrates” and “Application of ionic liquids in Flow assurance”. In addition, as project leader, he has secured 8 gas hydrate-related research projects worth RM 2 million from oil and gas industries, UTP, and Malaysian Government.
