Method of analyzing the kinetics of gas hydrate formation in fluids

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for determining the kinetics of gas hydrate formation in a fluid comprising water, wherein the following stages are carried out:a sample of the fluid is provided in form of a water-in-oil stable emulsion,DSC measurements are performed on the sample to obtain at least one peak corresponding to the gas hydrate conversion energy in the water drops of said emulsion,kinetic characteristics of the formation of hydrates in said fluid are deduced from the peak.
