New methods of gas hydrates formation

Seismic Methods for Recognition and Evaluation of Gas-Hydrates

Gas-hydrates are crystalline form of water and methane that form at high pressure and low temperature. They have attracted the global attention due to their wide-spread occurrences in the permafrost and outer continental margins; potential as major energy resources; role in climate change etc. It is estimated that the carbon in gas-hydrates is two times the carbon content in fossil fuel reserve...

Nucleation of gas hydrates

The kinetics of nucleation of one-component gas hydrates in aqueous solutions are analyzed. The size of the hydrate nucleus and the work for nucleus formation are determined as functions of the supersaturation Dm: Expressions for the stationary rate J of hydrate nucleation are derived. These expressions describe the JðDmÞ dependence for homogeneous nucleation and for heterogeneous nucleation at...
