Because inhibitors are important in reducing formation of hydrates in gas streams, we performed a study to investigate and evaluate the accuracy of available tools that predict hydrate formation ...

Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies of Kazan Federal University (IGiNGT KFU), together with Chinese colleagues, investigated the mechanism of accelerated formation of ...

Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

Researchers are studying the role that methane nanobubbles might play in the formation and dissociation of natural gas hydrates, a currently untapped source of natural gas and a chief energy source in ...

For many materials, phase transitions can be influenced by the amount of water vapour surrounding the sample. Water vapour can associate with a solid in many ways, such as adsorb only on the surface, ...

Scientists at the Youth Laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies (IGiNGT) of Kazan Federal University (KFU), together with colleagues from the A.V. Nikolaev Institute of ...

Head of the Department of Petroleum Engineering Mikhail Varfolomeev explains, "Gas hydrates are solid crystalline substances which look like ice and consist of gas and water molecules. Gas molecules ...

A pair of valves positioned at the gas lift to produce double expansion addressed the main causes of hydrate formation in production from wells at Alrar-oil Rim field in Algeria, eliminating ...

Researchers developed an electrochemical process that converts limestone and silica into calcium silicate hydrate at 60 °C ...
