Development of hydrogen compatible chemicals and test methods for energy sector application

Abstract

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for use with hydrogen gas. A method may include adding hydrogen gas to a medium and adding a production chemical to the medium. As examples, the production chemical may be a corrosion inhibitor, an anti-foulant, a hydrate anti-agglomerate, a kinetic hydrate inhibitor, an amine for gas sweetening, a regenerable H2S scavenger, a non-regenerable H2S scavenger, an alcohol for gas dehydration, an alcohol for hydrate control, a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor, or any combination thereof. The present disclosure also provides test methods to determine the susceptibility of a production chemical to reaction with hydrogen gas.
