Since then, flexible pipe designs have improved to produce the flowlines and risers that are now used in the offshore oil industry.
As oil/gas subsea fields mature, the amount of water produced increases, which results in an increased risk of gas hydrate plug formation in the flowlines.
If the control of wax deposition is not effective, the waxy deposits can build up significantly with time and cause disruption of production, reduction of throughput, and even complete blockage of the flowlines.
The present study proposes a new methodology that estimates the acceptable injection rate of a hydrate inhibitor considering the random failure and subsequent maintenance of the topside system followed by the cooldown of the flowlines and risers where hydrate can potentially form.
