Most of the studies done on kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are related to the effect of KHIs
on hydrate formation, and there are a limited number of research works on hydrate …

The use of KHI in conventional gas production has become common, but its applicability to
methane hydrate production has not yet been extensively studied, particularly in the …

We studied the growth rate of methane–propane mixed gas hydrate films on the surface of
water and up to 3 wt% aqueous solutions of a kinetic hydrate inhibitor, Luvicap EG. The …

Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are widely considered as a promising important substitute
energy resource. Some countries are trying to drill and develop NGH; however, the …

Gas hydrate blockage and corrosion are two major flow assurance problems associated with
transportation of wet gas through carbon steel pipelines. To reduce these risks, various …

Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-hydrate crystal conglomerates were kept intact above their melting
point by immersing them in cyclopentane (CP), as observed visually, and by diffraction …

This paper presents a significant finding where capillary-aided catastrophic gas hydrate
growth is observed under a shut-in condition (static fluid) for an uninhibited system. With the …

This paper describes a new experimental method for estimating the interfacial energy
between hydrates and a variety of liquids. It is shown to be possible to create a smooth freon …

Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the microscopic working
mechanism of PVCap-co-TBA and PVCap, especially its working mechanism on the memory …

The kinetics of hydrate formation has followed different paths depending on the goals of a
particular community of researchers. Much of the initial work on hydrate kinetics came from …
