Tool and method for removing gas hydrates from the surface of subsea oil and gas exploration and production equipment through laser radiation

摘要: A tool (100) is described for removing unwanted gas hydrates from the surface of equipment used in subsea exploration and production, with said being comprised a main vessel (1) power cable (2) linked together by connector (3); and, inside laser device (15) connected to an adjustable focus collimator (4) (12), wavelength emitted between 200 nm 930 nm, whereby when radiation reaches it causes heating thereof, which turn heats hydrate through conduction, breaking down formation out; front lid (14) having window (5) forming interface aqueous medium, fitted anti-reflection film (6) (7). The method surfaces production assistance also described.
