Natural gas hydrates have vast reserves and are considered a new clean energy source for replacing traditional fossil fuels such as coal and oil in the future.The formation, inhibition and decomposition of natural gas hydrate are affected by many factors.When studying the inhibition and acceleration effect of chemical agents on hydrate decomposition,multiple factors should be considered, such as fresh water or sea water, different gas?liquid ratios in the reactor, and pressure. In this paper, hydrate?related simulation experiments were carried out through a self?designed visualization simulation device for hydrate formation,inhibition and decomposition in wellbore. Under a gas?liquid ratio of (150
350),the combined effects of a laboratory?prepared KHI3 inhibitor and different concentrations of NaCl were analyzed to determine the optimal concentration combination. The experiment found that under the compound scheme of 3%NaCl+1%KHI3, hydrate is not easy to generate, but when the concentration of KHI3 is 2%, the nucleation rate of hydrate increases instead,which promotes the generation of hydrate.In practical applications,the concentration of the inhibitor should be strictly controlled to avoid pipeline blockage caused by massive hydrate formation.
