Hydrate prevention strategies for offshore flowlines are now moving toward hydrate risk management by delaying its nucleation and growth using water-soluble polymers, known as kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs). This study investigates the natural gas hydrate inhibition performance of three poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based KHIs [poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid (PNIPAM-co-AA), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-cyclopentylamine (PNIPAM-co-Cp), and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-tert-butylamine (PNIPAM-co-C4t)] by determining the hydrate onset time, growth rate, and resistance to flow using a high-pressure autoclave. These data are compared to three control groups [water, Luvicap solution, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)] under various cooling rates (0.25, 0.033, and 0.017 K/min). The results show that the nucleation of hydrate crystals was delayed in the presence of the KHI candidates as assessed using the onset time at different cooling rates. The effect of the KHI candidate on the hydrate gr...
