LUX Assure is offering offshore oil rigs OMMICA, a chemical testing kit designed to solve the major issue of gas hydrate growth. Gas hydrates are ice-like structures that plug up lines and disrupt production. The company says it has developed an innovative technology for detecting methane in water samples from wells drilled on land or at sea. Having the capacity to analyse the concentration of these inhibitors is rare on-board offshore facilities, and samples must be flown for testing and analysing onshore. OMMICA offers precise methanol and MEG analysis for users on site, in just an hour.

Gas hydrates are ice-like structures that plug up lines and disrupt production. The common approach to tackling them is injecting thermodynamic inhibitors such as methanol into pipeline fluids.
