MOC for well fluid gathering network

Respected members This is a query regarding well fluid gathering network, this network collects well fluid from different well heads using individual flow lines. Then the flow lines are merged to a bigger transfer line and well fluid is transferred to processing facility. The operating parameters of the network as follows: Op.pressure: 400-1300 psig. Op.Temp: 30-80 DegC Flow line size: 6" to 14", length: 5-10 km. The well fluid stream is consisting of HC(gas+condensate) and water. CO2 content is 3-5% and H2S 35 ppm(wt). The HC stream also content wax(wax formation temp=15 DegC) My question is 1. What would be suitable MOC for this service? 2. With corrosion inhibitor dosing, whether MOC can be optimzed? 3. Whether wax forms a layer in the pipe inner wall and thus cuts the contact between well fluid and pipe so that corrosion rate comes down? Best regards Processman
