Abstract

An overview of current theories and measures of gas well fluid accumulation and throttling is presented. The principles of gas well fluid accumulation and hydrate generation are described in detail. The solution measures are explained for gas fields where fluid accumulation and hydrates occur. Provide reference for similar situations in the future.
