The first phase equilibrium data are presented for Structure H hydrates. The data represent the initial formation of these hydrates from methane, with adamantane— a previously determined Structure H former. Temperature and pressure conditions are consistent with hydrocarbon production/transportation/processing facilities. Structure H hydrates are shown to contain molecules indigenous to petroleum. which may not be present in natural gas.
