Gas hydrates have received considerable attention due to their important role in flow
assurance for the oil and gas industry, their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and …

In this Review, we present a comprehensive overview of fundamental gas hydrate properties
and formation theories. Key terminologies, theories and hypotheses for hydrate nucleation …

In oil, natural gas processing and transmission, gas hydrate blockage and corrosion are two
major flow assurance problems associated with transportation through steel pipelines which …

Gas hydrate-caused pipeline plugging is an industrial nuisance for petroleum flow
assurance that calls for technological innovations. Traditional thermodynamic inhibitors such …

The formation of gas hydrates is crucial to many technological applications including energy
production, energy storage, desalination, and CO 2 capture. Kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) …

Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in
the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant …

Gas hydrates present a major flow assurance challenge due to the relatively fast timescales
at which they can form, agglomerate, and plug a subsea flowline, resulting in loss of …

During the development and application of natural gas, hydrate plugging the pipelines is a
very important issue to solve. Currently, adding thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THIs) and …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are polymeric based chemicals that delay the nucleation
and/or suppress the growth rate of gas hydrate crystals. While KHIs have been used …

Gas hydrates are ice-like solids that can readily form and restrict flow in high-pressure
natural gas transmission lines. The use of antifreeze thermodynamic inhibitors dominated …
