The objective of this study is to determine hydrate formation conditions of methane- hydrogen sulfide mixtures. During the study, an experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell and pressure-temperature data is recorded in each experiment. Different H2S concentrations and both brine and distilled water are used in the experiments and the Black Sea conditions, which are suitable for methane-hydrogen sulfide hydrate formation are examined. Considering the pressure-temperature data obtained, hydrate equilibrium conditions are determined as well as the number of moles of free gas in the hydrate formation cell. The change in the number of moles of free gas in the hydrate formation cell with respect to time is considered as a way of determining rate of hydrate formation. Effects of H2S concentration and salinity on hydrate formation conditions of methane-hydrogen sulfide mixtures are also studied. It is observed that an increase in the salinity shifts the methane-hydrogen sulfide hydrate equilibrium condition to lower equilibrium temperatures at a given pressure. On the other hand, with an increase in H2S concentration the methane hydrogen sulfide hydrate formation conditions reach higher equilibrium temperature values at a given pressure. After the study, it can be also concluded that the Black Sea has suitable conditions for hydrate formation of methane hydrogen sulfide mixtures, considering the results of the experiments.

Determination of hydrate formation conditions of drilling fluids
Kupeyeva, Aliya; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007)
The objective of this study is to determine hydrate formation conditions of a multicomponent polymer based drilling fluid. During the study, experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell and pressure-temperature data is recorded in each experiment. Different concentrations of four components of drilling fluid, namely potassium chloride (KCl), partially hydrolyzed polyacrylicamide (PHPA), xanthan gum (XCD) and polyalkylene glycol (poly.glycol) were us...

Dielectric properties of fuel oils and their ethanol mixtures investigated by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
Arık, Enis; Esentürk, Okan; Altan, Hakan; Department of Chemistry (2013)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the dielectric properties of fuel oils and their ethanol mixtures in the THz spectral region. We presented frequency dependent absorption coefficients, refractive indices, and dielectric constants calculated from the measurements of pure and mixtures of fuel oils. As the mixing ratio changes, meaningful shifts were observed in refractive index and absorption coefficient of the mixtures. For pure liquids, we used Debye model which provides a good estimate for the d...
Quantification and analysis of uncertainties in reservoir modeling using multiple-point geostatistics
Fadlelmula Fadlelseed, Mohamed Mohieldin; Akın, Serhat; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2012)
This study analyzed and quantified uncertainties of reservoirs modeled using multiple-point geostatistics (MPG). The uncertainty types analyzed herein are training image (TI) and hard data (porosity) uncertainties. Aiming at studying the impact of TI uncertainty, this study provides a tool to parameterize TIs having channel structure by a mathematical (Sine) function so that a TI is a function of four parameters. These parameters are channels’ number, waves’ number in each channel, amplitude level of waves,...
Hydrate Inhibition with PEO (Poly 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)
Bulbul, S.; Kadoura, A. S.; Merey, S.; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (2014-01-01)
This study is aimed at investigating the effects of a poly 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline-type polymer on the prevention of methane hydrate formation. During the study, seven experiments with low concentrations of poly 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (0 to 1 wt%) were run in a batch-type reactor. The analysis of the experimental study indicates that poly 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline can be considered as a potential kinetic inhibitor for hydrate formation.
