Formation of hydrates in gas transmission lines due to high pressures and low temperatures
is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry with potential hazards and/or economic …

The formation of gas hydrates is a major issue during the operation of oil and gas pipelines,
because gas hydrates cause plugging, thereby disrupting the normal oil and gas flows. A …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been studied, developed, and used in the oil and gas
industries for more than two decades. The main active ingredients in commercial KHI …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used in the upstream petroleum industry for
about 25 years to prevent plugging of flow lines with gas hydrates. The main ingredients in …

A newly fabricated, stirred reactor was used to investigate hydrate inhibition and
decomposition in the presence of two commercial, chemical kinetic inhibitors …

Gas hydrate formation in multi phase mixtures containing an aqueous phase (with dissolved
salts), reservoir fluid (crude oil) and natural gas phase was investigated by using a standard …

The motivation for this work was the potential of hydrophobic amino acids such as glycine, l-
alanine, and l-valine to be applied as thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THIs). To confirm …

This paper briefly reviews gas hydrate nucleation, dissociation, and hydrate inhibition by
kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs). The drawbacks of traditional inhibitors and the testing …

Rocking cells were used to investigate the natural gas hydrate formation and decomposition
in the presence of kinetic inhibitor, Luvicap. In addition, the influence of poly ethylene oxide …

Mixed CH 4-THF hydrate formation has been studied with the objective of advancing the
operational and economic feasibility of hydrate formation. In this regard, the possibility of …
