Molecular mechanisms of methane hydrate dissociation and inhibition
Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds with cage-like structures formed by hydrogen-bonded water molecules hosting guest molecules such as light hydrocarbons and CO₂. They are known to: • represent a potential reserve of natural gas embedded in seabed and permafrost sediments • pose a flow assurance...
