Abstract
A method is disclosed that includes introducing one or more dual function inhibitor compounds through an umbilical into a deepwater environment such that the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds are introduced into a fluid in the deepwater environment. The dual function inhibitor is a corrosion inhibitor and a hydrate inhibitor.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- introducing one or more dual function inhibitor compounds through an umbilical into a deepwater environment such that the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds are introduced into a fluid in the deepwater environment, wherein the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds have the following structural formula:
- wherein each dual function inhibitor compound is both a corrosion inhibitor and a hydrate inhibitor.
-19. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- introducing one or more dual function inhibitor compounds into a fluid comprising a hydrocarbon and water such that the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds inhibits hydrate formation in the fluid, wherein the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds have the following structural formula:
- contacting a metal surface with the fluid after introduction of the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds;
- and
- suppressing corrosion of the metal surface by the fluid through inclusion of the one or more dual function inhibitor compounds in the fluid,
- wherein each dual function inhibitor compound is both a corrosion inhibitor and a hydrate inhibitor.
