这项研究的主要动机是开发一种从含有大量矿藏的亚规格天然气中分离甲烷和氮气的工艺。然而，工艺开发所需的基础数据涉及目前无法获得的水合物形成、熔化和运输信息。此类信息在另外两个重要领域也很有用。其中一个涉及控制涉及海上天然气生产和运输的管道中水合物形成的问题，其中控制水合物形成的成本构成大量费用。另一个重要问题是利用近年来发现的水合物沉积物中丰富的甲烷资源（一种清洁燃料），其能源价值超过了世界煤炭和石油的总储量。
The primary motivation for this research is the development of a process for the separation of nitrogen from methane from subspecification natural gas of which there are substantial deposits. However, the fundamental data that are necessary for process development involve information on hydrate formation, melting, and transportation that is currently not available.There are also two additional important areas in which this type of information can be useful. One deals with the problem of controlling hydrate formation in pipelines involved in off-shore natural gas production and transportation where the cost of control of hydrate formation constitutes a substantial expense. The other important problem is the utilization of the vast resource of methane, a clean fuel, in hydrate deposits that have been discovered in recent years amounting to an energy equivalent of more than the total coal and oil reserves of the world.
