This project aims to develop practical new methods of predicting and detecting the formation of solids in gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. Australia has large offshore reserves of natural gas and has made the investments necessary to help fuel the global transition to cleaner, reliable energy sources. However, conventional engineering approaches of producing gas from deep-water reserves have reached the limits of viability because of the costs required to prevent solids forming in subsea pipelines or cryogenic LNG plants. The project’s expected outcome include sophisticated tools in open-access software based on these new predictive methods, and a step-change in Australia’s ability to access its offshore gas.

该项目旨在开发预测和检测天然气和液化天然气（LNG）生产中固体形成的实用新方法。澳大利亚拥有大量的海上天然气储备，并进行了必要的投资，以帮助推动全球向更清洁、可靠的能源过渡。然而，由于防止海底管道或低温液化天然气工厂中形成固体所需的成本，从深水储备中生产天然气的传统工程方法已达到可行性的极限。该项目的预期成果包括基于这些新的预测方法的开放获取软件中的复杂工具，以及澳大利亚获取其海上天然气的能力的逐步变化。
