Effect of biopolymers on inhibition of natural gas hydrate formation in mineralized reservoir wate

Currently, the problem of gas hydrate formation at all stages of extraction, preparation, and transport of fluids is relevant in Russia. The most common method of preventing unwanted hydrate formation is the use of substances that inhibit the growth of gas hydrates, known as inhibitors. This study examines the effect of environmentally friendly biopolymers on the rate of natural gas hydrate formation in mineralized water. It was found that the addition of biopolymers reduces the conversion of water into natural gas hydrate.
