Formation of hydrates in gas transmission lines due to high pressures and low temperatures
is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry with potential hazards and/or economic …

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 …

This paper briefly reviews gas hydrate nucleation, dissociation, and hydrate inhibition by
kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs). The drawbacks of traditional inhibitors and the testing …

Gas hydrate formation is one of the most serious challenges for flow assurance in oil and
gas transportation pipelines as it causes severe safety, environmental, and economic …

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

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been studied, developed, and used in the oil and gas
industries for more than two decades. The main active ingredients in commercial KHI …

Hydrate formation and deposition during drilling offshore oil and gas wells has been one of
the major challenges faced by the oil and gas industry. The use of low-dosage hydrate …

A facile, new and promising technique based on waterborne polymers for designing and
synthesizing kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) has been proposed to prevent methane …

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 …

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) have been used in the upstream petroleum industry for
about 25 years to prevent plugging of flow lines with gas hydrates. The main ingredients in …
