The phase equilibrium of methane hydrate under different experimental conditions was investigated. The effects of the particle size of silica sand as well as a mixture of bentonite clay and silica sand on methane hydrate formation and its dissociation were studied. The kinetics of hydrate formation was studied under different subcooling conditions to observe its effects on the induction time of hydrate formation. The amount of methane gas encapsulated in hydrate was computed using a real gas equation. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is used to estimate the enthalpy of hydrate dissociation with measured phase equilibrium data. 6 Oil and Gas Science and Technology 70 ARTICULO Kumar Saw, V. 55142 Udayabhanu, G. 55143 Mandal, A. 55144 Laik, S. 55145 189443 189443 0 0 0 0 257262 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200061679 0 200061679 2026-03-06 00:19:38 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
