✦ Synopsis

A simple method for predicting the formation of gas hydrates is described. The hydrate-forming compounds may be pure gases or constitute a mixture like a natural gas or an oil. The influence of inhibitors like alcohols, glycols or salts on the hydrate formation is accounted for by a very flexible and robust program based on the method. The calculated results are found to compare well with experimental results for a wide variety of pure compounds and mixtures, including two North Sea reservoir fluids.
