1 sapphire rocking cell RCS6 CH4 crude oil 125 mL 50 decane (3–10) 25 to −5 up to 10 Some oil components (likely resins, and asphaltenes) contribute to the hydrate nucleation in water, oil, and gas systems. (92)
surfynol 420
span 80
2 rocking cell CO2 crude oil 100 mL 20 methanol 12 – 20 to 40 20 The existence of crude oil in a multiphase system inhibits the production of gas hydrates, leading to a delay in hydrate form. (79)
MEG
NaCl
KCl
3 rocking cell CH4 mineral oil 70T   30 NACL 3.5 13 to −5 7 Antiagglomerates aid in the formation of transportable hydrate slurry; however, at low concentrations of AA, temporary hydrate agglomeration was observed. (80)
MEG 6.6
4 stainless-steel chamber CO2 wax content and mineral oil 125 mL adsorption in water ASP 3 30 to 20 27 The impact of asphaltenes on hydrate nucleation was more significant than waxes. (93)
5 pressure cell CH4 conroe oil 65% 35     4 4.92 The amount of hydrate formed over time increased as the water fraction increased; this increase is most likely extrinsic. (45)
6 flow loop CH4 condensate gas + water + diesel oil–water 5 vol % 95 antiagglomerant CAA 2.0 4 and 1 10 Despite the initial water cut, the adopted antiagglomerate may disperse hydrate particles in the fluid phase and the formed. (82)

25 vol % 75
7 rocking cell system CH4 condensate liquid and crude oil 2–7 mL of crude oil 30–80 antiagglomerate 0.2–1 4 10 Thermodynamic inhibition and reduction of AA adsorption on the hydrate surface are two possible effects of salt on AA performance. (83)
8 HP-mDSC CH4 vegetable oil 115 g 55 triethylamine 30 20 to −20 25 Some hydrate inhibitors, such as quaternary salts, contain chloride as a counterion, which can cause corrosion. (40)

9 rocking cell CH4 mineral oil 70T - 60 MEG 6.6 20 to 1 4.5–3.5 Inhibited systems have a higher risk of hydrate agglomeration than noninhibited systems under certain conditions. (81)
NACL 3.5
