    • Flow Assurance and Safety of Pipelines in Cold Conditions 
      Xu, Hongfei (2021-12-08)
      Oil and gas transportation in cold regions, such as the Arctic and offshore, may encounter flow assurance issues that are caused by hydrates, wax, or even ice. To evaluate the effect of these solids on pipeline safety, ...
    • Modelling Ice and Wax Formation in a Pipeline in the Arctic Environment 
      Bbosa, Ben; Cheng, Zhengdong; Huang, Dali; Mannan, M. Sam; Volk, Michael; Xu, Hongfei (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)
      In the Arctic environment, fluid temperature in pipeline can drop below the freezing point of water, which causes wax and ice to form on pipeline surface. Solid formation on pipeline surface can lead to flow assurance and ...
    • Oil Transportation in Pipelines with the Existence of Ice 
      Xu, Hongfei; Pereyra, E.; Dellacase, E.; Volk, M. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      When the ambient temperature is below freezing point, ice may form in the oil transportation pipelines, which can cause flow assurance issues, such as restricting flow path or even plugging the pipeline. Ice plugging was ...
