Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The extraction of crude oil in deep waters represents a major technological
challenge. One of the most common problems in these oil and gas extraction conditions
is the formation of gas hydrates that can cause plugging and hinder the transportation
of crude oil. For this reason, great efforts have been made in the development of
hydrate inhibitors, among which ILs have shown to be a very promising alternative. In
this chapter, the development and evaluation of ILs as hydrate inhibitors are discussed.
