Overview on the Gas Hydrate Formation Process by Cooling Method and Comparing the Experimental Conditions Affecting Results

During recent years, hydrate behavior has been under continuous research and several experimental results have been published since its discovery. In studies of gas hydrates, the subject that must first be considered is the condition of its formation, so this issue is the subject of many articles in the field of hydrate. In addition, due to the important role of hydrate in efficiency of oil and gas industries, many researchers have focused on hydrate inhibitors. Until now hydrate formation/dissociation in different articles has been examined with different chemical inhibitors under certain laboratory conditions. Since the constant cooling (CC) is one of the most basic methods for evaluating the hydrate formation process and KHI performance, this paper was carried out to study and review fundamental studies on thehydrate formation by constant cooling method and the research aspects required in this field.
