Abstract
Gas hydrate formation presents significant flow assurance challenges in oil and gas operations, particularly in subsea pipelines where low temperatures (<290 K) and high pressures (>5 MPa) create ideal conditions for crystallization. This study integrates experimental and modeling approaches to characterize methane hydrate phase equilibria, the primary component of natural gas hydrates. Controlled stepwise heating experiments (0.3–1 K/hr) in a high-pressure reactor (50–130 bar range) precisely determined dissociation conditions with temperature uncertainty of ±0.1 K and pressure accuracy of ±0.05 MPa. A novel thermodynamic framework combining the PC-SAFT equation of state for chain molecule interactions, the CPA equation for hydrogen bonding effects, and Van der Waals-Platteeuw hydrate theory demonstrated exceptional predictive capability across the 280–290 K and 5.5–13 MPa operating window. The model's robustness was validated against four independent experimental datasets, achieving average absolute deviations of 1.55% for pressure and 0.05 % for temperature with the CPA approach, outperforming PC-SAFT in high-pressure regimes. The study also investigated kinetic behavior using two experimental methods, with Method B (post-cooling gas injection) providing unambiguous induction time measurements. Results revealed critical insights into hydrate nucleation and dissociation dynamics, including the identification of equilibrium points at the intersection of heating-cooling curves. These findings advance fundamental understanding of hydrate thermodynamics while offering practical tools for pipeline design, operational optimization, and emergency response planning in Arctic and deepwater environments. The developed methodology bridges the gap between laboratory-scale data and field-scale applications, ensuring accurate hydrate stability predictions under industrial conditions.

Комплексное термодинамическое и кинетическое моделирование образования гидрата метана: экспериментальная проверка и прогнозный анализ
Образование газовых гидратов создает значительную проблему обеспечения непрерывного потока при добыче нефти и газа, особенно в подводных трубопроводах, где низкие температуры (<290 К) и высокое давление (>5 МПа) создают идеальные условия для их кристаллизации. В исследовании используются экспериментальные и модельные подходы для определения фазового равновесия гидрата метана, основного компонента гидратов природного газа. Контролируемые эксперименты по ступенчатому нагреву (0,3–1 К/ч) в реакторе высокого давления (в диапазоне 50–130 бар) позволили точно определить условия диссоциации с погрешностью температуры ± 0,1 К и точностью давления ± 0,05 МПа. Новая термодинамическая модель, объединяющая уравнение состояния статистической теории ассоциированной жидкости для взаимодействия молекул в цепочке, уравнение кубической ассоциации для учета эффектов водородных связей и теорию гидратов Ван-дер-Ваальса – Платтеу, продемонстрировала исключительную прогностическую способность в диапазоне 280–290 К и 5,5–13 МПа. Ровность модели была подтверждена четырьмя независимыми экспериментальными наборами данных, при этом среднее абсолютное отклонение составило 1,55 % для давления и 0,05 % для температуры при использовании подхода из уравнения кубической ассоциации, что превосходит уравнение состояния статистической теории ассоциированной жидкости в режимах высокого давления. В ходе исследования также изучалось кинетическое поведение с использованием двух экспериментальных методов, при этом метод Б (закачка газа после охлаждения) обеспечивал однозначные измерения времени индукции. Результаты позволили получить важные сведения о динамике образования и диссоциации гидратов, в том числе об определении точек равновесия на пересечении кривых нагрева и охлаждения. Эти результаты способствуют фундаментальному пониманию термодинамики гидратов и предлагают практические инструменты для проектирования трубопроводов, оптимизации эксплуатации и планирования действий в чрезвычайных ситуациях в арктических и глубоководных условиях. Разработанная методология устраняет разрыв между данными лабораторных исследований и практическим применением в полевых условиях, обеспечивая точный прогноз стабильности гидратов в промышленных условиях.
