Thanks, Mykhailo. However, I have not heard about somzol and cannot find the word on the web. Could you please clarify or send me more comprehensive guidelines to my work? Best regards.

Bassey, have you tried using OLGA?

Yea, Mahmoud. OLGA is good but I do not have access to the software.

Bassey, please consult Dr. Kosta Leontaritis, Dr. Wax, ....will be a great help.

Thanks, Jairo.

You can use my flow assurance software, HYD-PREDIC, for prediction of hydrate formation in a subsea crude oil pipeline. You can request the results for uphill inclined or uphill vertical flow and horizontal flow using Beggs and Brill multiphase flow correlation and Mukherjee and Brill multiphase flow correlation through VLE CALCULATOR page of www.eq-comp.com website. Sample results of the software are attached and links to the HYD-PREDIC and VLE CALCULATOR pages are given below. The results of the software are available on per calculation basis against a nominal payment.

Thanks a lot, Amit. Do you also have stuff on wax prediction?

My flow assurance software, HYD-PREDIC, calculates the temperature profile of the pipeline. Generally cloud point temperature/ pour point temperature/ wax deposition temperature for a reservoir is measured during reservoir simulation study and it is more or less independent of pressure. So though my software is formally not predicting blockage due to wax formation, the same can be inferred from the temperature profile predicted by my software.

Okay. I am more concerned with temperature profile and operating conditions at the surface, not really the reservoir, that give room to hydrate and wax formation.
