Abstract

Gas hydrates are solids that resembles ice when natural gas and free underground water combined to form hydrate structure at high temperature and low pressure condition. Gas hydrate formation can take place ain gas or condensed wells and also in deep oil wells rich in natural gas. Formation of hydrates in a well depends on various factors like composition of the fluid, design and operating regimes, geothermal gradient in the well. Gas hydrates are rich source of unconventional energies to the world and very few knowledge about them has been gathered until now and researchers around the world are active to know more and more about these gas hydrate systems.
