Abstract: Water, in whatever form conditions dictate, is probably the most common, undesirable compound found in hydrocarbons as the exist in their natural state. The vapor phase can be tolerated and is usually no concern to oil and gas production. However,the liquid and solid phase do create a multitude of problems for the processing, transportation and storage of hydrocarbons, Liquid water almost always aids and abets corrosion, and combines with Hydrocarbons to form Hydrates that plug valves, process equipment and pipe lines. Water, sometimes referred to as the Universal Solvent, carries in solution a great number of dissolved solid and when converted to the vapor state or under temperature and pressure changes deposits these solids. This deposition can and does create sundry problems for the hydrocarbon. producer, transportor, and processor.
