Additives such as surfactants, polymers, salts, and hydrophobic particles are well-known
(and used) to influence gas hydrate formation (GHF). This paper reviews and discusses the …

Gas hydrates have been proposed as a potential technology for a number of applications,
such as separation of gas mixtures, CO2 capture, transportation, and sequestration …

In the research spectrum of hydrates in petroleum science and engineering, gas storage in
hydrates is an area of study aimed at utilising the gas from marginal and small fields …

Natural gas hydrates from different types and concentrations of surfactant solutions were
produced in a high-pressure cell. An anionic, a cationic, and a nonionic surfactant were …

Gas hydrates are gas-carrying water structures which present both opportunities and threats
to the energy industry and environment. Chemical additives are used either to promote gas …

Surfactants increase the rate of gas hydrate formation and the gas storage capacity in
hydrates in a quiescent system. An anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and a …

This book offers a straightforward, informative guide to the chemicals used for gas hydrate
formation and inhibition, providing the reader with the latest information on the definition …

Natural gas hydrate is an alternative energy source with a great potential for development.
The addition of surfactants has been found to have practical implications on the acceleration …

Micellar solutions were found to increase gas hydrate formation rate and alter formation
mechanism for ethane and natural gas hydrates. A critical micellar concentration (CMC) of …

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 …
