Investigation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride (BMIM-Cl) as Hydrate Inhibitor
Methane hydrate has been discussed as one of the unconventional reservoir, expected to be commercialized in 15 years’ time [1]. There are a few methods in extracting the gas from hydrates, but there are seem to be few drawbacks from each of them. This study is about the production of methane gas fro...
