A general correlation for predicting the suppression of hydrate dissociation temperature in the presence of thermodynamic inhibitors

The correlation has been developed using hydrate phase boundaries for methane and seven natural gases in the presence of various single inhibitors generated by a well-proven comprehensive thermodynamic model. It covers nine electrolyte solutions and six organic inhibitors, which may be available and/or added to the reservoir and drilling fluids. The developed correlation is generic and could be easily extended to other salts and organic inhibitors.
