Black Oil System: Steady State Thermal Design • Hydrates • Maintain steady state temperature above hydrate formation region, down to “reasonable” flowrate • Looped flowline ~ 25% of field production (50% per flowline) • For low water-cut systems, continuous hydrate inhibition is possible • Future: continuous LDHI inhibition
