CONCLUSIONS
Thermal evaluation shows risk of hydrate formation TEG at 1:10 injection ratio has been selected on a preliminary basis as hydrate inhibitor 28 ID pipeline showed a hydraulic acceptable behavior It is not expected erosion to be an issue as erosion ratio < 1 Flow assurance studies should be considered since the beginning of a project and analysis must be carried out during entire life of the fields
