A bstract : The properties of hydrate plugs have been demonstrated to vary from case to case. Plugs formed in a gas/HC liquid/water system consist of hydrate particles and pores with gas and liquid constituting both water and HC at different portions. The composition of the gas and liquids trapped in the pores plays a major role in the probability of plugging as well as the behavior of plugs during melting.
