Case History A subsea well in deepwater Gulf of Mexico was producing 3,600 BOPD (572 m 3 /D), 2 BWPD (0.32 m 3 /D) and 2.3 mmscf/D (65128 std m 3 ) with a four- mile uninsulated ? owline. Fluids arrived at the platform at 600 psig and 42°F (5.5°C), several degrees below the predicted hydrate formation temperature. During shut-ins, the ? owline pressure could reach 2,000 psig, posing a severe hydrate formation risk. Hydrates were controll
