Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning natural gas pipelines, and in particular relates to a pipe pig which can be used to clear hydrate blockages in natural gas pipelines and has the function of self-blocking removal. Background technique
[0002] Natural gas hydrate is a cage-shaped crystalline compound formed by water in natural gas and molecules such as methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, n-butane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide under certain pressure and temperature conditions. White crystals of loose ice or dense snow. Because natural gas hydrates can easily cause wellbore and gas pipeline blockage, it will greatly affect the normal production of gas fields. Relevant studies have shown that during the operation of the Sulige Gas Field, hydrate blockage has become the main factor that restricts production capacity in winter and leads to potential safety hazards.
[0003] At present, the method of injecting therm...
