Formerly, additives were only used to inhibit the formation of solid hydrates in pipelines and
maintain a safe and economic fuel transportation. Recently, their role has reversed in newly …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used for several decades to solve the hydrate
formation problem in oil and gas flowlines. Traditional KHIs are amide-based polymers, eg …

In recent years, there has been growing interest in gas hydrates as technological
applications, such as for energy (methane and hydrogen) storage and transportation …

Natural gas hydrates are unconventional abundant hydrocarbon energy resources that can
guarantee energy sustainability with little environmental impact. The solid nature of the …

Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are prone to causing pipeline blockage in flow assurance,
attracting considerable attention in the petroleum industry. This work reviews the significant …

This Review presents a comprehensive literature review of an important class of kinetic
hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) that is based on cyclic amides (lactams). The major aspects of the …

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 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 …

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 hydrate inhibition is a relevant topic of flow assurance. Thermodynamic hydrate
inhibitors (THIs) and kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are applied to prevent gas hydrates …
