This paper describes hydrate issues related to the design and success of a "fast-track" development project for three Gulf of Mexico deep-water (2,100 ft) subsea gas-well completions. The project required development of specific hydrate-inhibition steps to minimize the occurrence of hydrates during well completion and flow testing owing to cold mudline temperatures (45 to 55 degrees F), low reservoir temperatures (100 to 115 degrees F), and high bottomhole pressures (BHP’s) (3,000 to 4,000 psi). Use of predictive modeling, integrated planning, and selection of hydrate inhibitors and injection points for each project phase are explained.
