The interfacial properties and mechanisms of gas hydrate systems play a major role in controlling their interparticle and surface interactions, which is desirable for nearly all energy applications of clathrate hydrates. In particular, preventing gas hydrate interparticle agglomeration and/or partic...

520 |a The interfacial properties and mechanisms of gas hydrate systems play a major role in controlling their interparticle and surface interactions, which is desirable for nearly all energy applications of clathrate hydrates. In particular, preventing gas hydrate interparticle agglomeration and/or particle-surface deposition is critical to the prevention of gas hydrate blockages during the exploration and transportation of oil and gas subsea flow lines. These agglomeration and deposition processes are dominated by particle-particle cohesive forces and particle-surface adhesive force. In this study, we present the first direct measurements on the cohesive and adhesive forces studies of the CH4/C2H6 gas hydrate in a liquid hydrocarbon-dominated system utilizing a high-pressure micromechanical force (HP-MMF) apparatus. A CH4/C2H6 gas mixture was used as the gas hydrate former in the model liquid hydrocarbon phase. For the cohesive force baseline test, it was found that the addition of liquid hydrocarbon changed the interfacial tension and contact angle of water in the liquid hydrocarbon compared to water in the gas phase, resulting in a force of 23.5 ± 2.5 mN m-1 at 3.45 MPa and 274 K for a 2 h annealing time period in which hydrate shell growth occurs. It was observed that the cohesive force was inversely proportional to the annealing time, whereas the force increased with increasing contact time. For a longer contact time (>12 h), the force could not be measured because the two hydrate particles adhered permanently to form one large particle. The particle-surface adhesive force in the model liquid hydrocarbon was measured to be 5.3 ± 1.1 mN m-1 under the same experimental condition. Finally, with a 1 h contact time, the hydrate particle and the carbon steel (CS) surface were sintered together and the force was higher than what could be measured by the current apparatus. A possible mechanism is presented in this article to describe the effect of contact time on the particle-particle cohesive force based on the capillary liquid bridge model. A model adapted from the capillary liquid bridge equation has been used to predict the particle-particle cohesive force as a function of contact time, showing close agreement with the experimental data. By comparing the cohesive forces results from gas hydrates for both gas and liquid bulk phases, the surface free energy of a hydrate particle was calculated and found to dominate the changes in the interaction forces with different continuous bulk phases
