Some oil components
(likely resins, and asphaltenes) contribute to the hydrate nucleation
in water, oil, and gas systems. |

The existence
of crude oil in a multiphase system inhibits the production of gas
hydrates, leading to a delay in hydrate form. |

Antiagglomerates
aid in the formation of transportable hydrate slurry; however, at
low concentrations of AA, temporary hydrate agglomeration was observed. |

The amount of hydrate formed
over time increased as the water fraction increased; this increase
is most likely extrinsic. |
