ABSTRACT:
Method for producing and/or transporting by pipeline, from a location such as a reservoir to a point of destination, a multi-phase fluid susceptible to the formation of hydrates under given thermodynamic conditions. During production and/or transportation, at least one relationship is determined between at least two physical parameters associated with hydrate formation, such as the pressure P, the temperature T and/or a parameter associated with the composition of the fluid or the composition of the fluid itself, the said relationship defining at least one range within which hydrates form. At least one of the physical parameters is measured and, using the relationship and/or the established formation range and a processing and control device, at least one of the physical parameters is adjusted in order to bring and/or maintain the fluid outside the hydrate formation range.
