1. A method for operating a pipeline system, the method comprising:
obtaining sensor data of a gas in the pipeline system from sensors of a sensing unit;
performing a real-time and closed loop control scheme using the sensor data and a material model of the gas to determine one or more control decisions, the material model of the gas configured receive the sensor data of the gas and predict a thermodynamic property of the gas based on the sensor data of the gas, the thermodynamic property of the gas predicted by the material model being different than the sensor data; and
operating one or more controllable pipeline elements to adjust a phase of the gas to limit formation of a hydrate according to the one or more control decisions.
