Mainly, because of different climate changes and different reservoirs characterizations, studying the behavior of producing outcome fluids and their transportation, is of major interest. One of the main problems occur in the gas reservoirs is related to the hydrate formation while producing from a well, either in production strings or lines (before and after choke). Effective parameters which lead to hydrate formations are: high pressure in strings, low wellhead temperature together with water presence; and hence, the high possibility of having this phenomenon in the reservoirs is quite obvious for the gas wells. Hydrate formation in production lines and facilities will also lead to different impediments such as: complete or partial closure in production lines and heat exchangers, erosion of the equipment, pressure reduction, and etc. In this research, the conditions of hydrate formation, using the experimental data from one the Iranian sour gas field that is helpful to determine the safe/unsafe zones by P-T curves, are thoroughly investigated. In addition, the results will be compared to the other presented correlations available in the literature.   UR - https://jchpe.ut.ac.ir/article_3900.html L1 - https://jchpe.ut.ac.ir/article_3900_c56d50fada9cf539efadd334549c6f77.pdf ER -
