Abstract

Micellar surfactant solutions were found to increase gas hydrate formation rate and storage capacity. An anionic surfactant, namely sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used to improve hydrate storage capacity of a synthetic natural gas (mol percent of methane, ethane and propane are 92.05%,4.96%, 2.99%, respectively). Hydrate could form quickly in a quiescent system with the presence of SDS. There was a better SDS solution concentration for gas storage in hydrates.
