SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMEDIATING PIPELINE BLOCKAGE

摘要

A system and method for reducing fluid pressure in a pipe connecting a well to a remote location, according to which a section of tubing is inserted into the pipe to define a space between the tubing and the pipe. Pressurized fluid is introduced into the pipe in a manner to displace the fluid in the pipe and reduce the fluid pressure in the pipe to prevent the formation of hydrates in the pipe.
