When the subsea pipeline temperature steeply drops below wax appearance temperature (WAT) and hydrate appearance temperature (HAT), it causes the pipeline to clog.

Key Points: 
  • When the subsea pipeline temperature steeply drops below wax appearance temperature (WAT) and hydrate appearance temperature (HAT), it causes the pipeline to clog.
  • In certain circumstances, clogging may affect the well productivity during restart condition and in the worst-case scenario, the well must be abandoned.
  • Thus, thermal insulation of the subsea pipeline is of utmost importance to protect the integrity of the pipe flow, during the shutdown period.
  • Therefore, based on increasing pipeline building and increasing production, it is expected that North America will dominate the market in near future.

Keck III died from a heart arrhythmia caused by elevated potassium due to heat exhaustion on September 3, 2017.

Key Points: 
  • Keck III died from a heart arrhythmia caused by elevated potassium due to heat exhaustion on September 3, 2017.
  • During the two-week trial, Keck's attorneys argued the club employees owed a duty of care to Keck to recognize his symptoms, his worsening condition, and to get him medical aid sooner.
  • "We hope this verdict sends a message to other athletic facilities and clubs to take heat exhaustion seriously."
  • The jury also found that the Club was 80-percent at fault for Keck's death which reduces the award to $12 million.
