Because inhibitors are important in reducing formation of hydrates in gas streams, we performed a study to investigate and evaluate the accuracy of available tools that predict hydrate formation ...

Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies of Kazan Federal University (IGiNGT KFU), together with Chinese colleagues, investigated the mechanism of accelerated formation of ...

Experiments show that ensuring oil and gas production under certain pressures and temperatures requires a thorough understanding of the effects of inhibitors on gas hydrate formation and dissociation.

Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

Researchers are studying the role that methane nanobubbles might play in the formation and dissociation of natural gas hydrates, a currently untapped source of natural gas and a chief energy source in ...

Scientists have solved a molecular puzzle explaining the natural formation of gas hydrates, a type of flammable crystal also known as "the ice that burns." Gas hydrates form when pockets of gas are ...

For many materials, phase transitions can be influenced by the amount of water vapour surrounding the sample. Water vapour can associate with a solid in many ways, such as adsorb only on the surface, ...

A hydrogen-natural gas blend (HNGB) can be a game changer only if it can be stored safely and used as a sustainable clean energy resource. A recent study has suggested a new strategy for stably ...

The only one of its kind in Australia, the flow loop can simulate gas-liquid flows at high pressures and low temperatures – conditions that oil and gas pipelines are subjected to in deep-sea ...

After spotting the deepest hydrate seep ever, scientists were shocked to discover a deep-sea ecosystem thriving on the Arctic ...
