Methane hydrates were crystallized from water droplets on three different surfaces of varying
wettability. Contact angles in air were used to classify substrates in decreasing order of …

Because of the stochastic character of hydrate crystallization, the evaluation of kinetic
hydrate inhibitor (KHI) performance, using high-pressure autoclaves, is subject to the …

The industrial significance of natural gas hydrates coincided with the rapid development of
the oil and gas industry in the United States. The key effort was on developing and …

The effect of kinetic inhibitors on the morphology of methane structure I hydrate was
observed using a high pressure sapphire crystallizer. Two kinetic inhibitors were studied …

Hydrate formation along the natural gas pipeline has been identified as a serious threat to
the survival of oil and gas industry. The formation if not quickly removed may plug the …

The effect of the addition of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C4mim][BF4]) on
the formation rates of CO2 hydrates was investigate. The isothermal and isobaric methods …

In a high pressure reactor, the methane hydrate formation experiments are carried out in the
presence of the various imidazolium based ionic liquid solutions with 0.5 wt.% so that the …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are used to prevent gas hydrate formation in gas and oilfield
operations. Recently, a new KHI test method was reported in which hydrates are formed and …

The formation of gas hydrates in offshore pipelines is a severe flow assurance issue. The
hydrates may form quickly in pipelines without any warning. Thus, effective remediation …

In this study, we examined various CO2 hydrate phase equilibria under diverse,
heterogeneous conditions, to provide basic knowledge for successful ocean CO2 …
