Both numerical simulations and field experience have shown that blowdown is generally feasible for uphill flowlines over a wide range of gas-liquid ratios (GOR), water cuts and operating conditions. It is often assumed, however, that blowdown is not feasible for downhill-sloping flowlines, where...
Davis suggested that the hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which was mixing with oxygen and oxidized water to produce sulfuric acid, had a hydrocarbon source, such as petroleum. Finally, much progress occurred in the work of Carol Hill during this time. In her studies of mineralogy in the caves, Hill...
