The gas hydrate formation is a non-stoichiometric process, which may be affected by a great number of variables, rather than thermodynamic conditions. Several chemical additives were found to act as inhibitors or promoters (or both together under specific situations) for gas hydrate. The most known chemical inhibitor is sodium chloride, whose effects needs to be widely investigated, due to its presence in about 97% of discovered hydrate reservoirs. However, other elements may intervene on the formation process and...
