Abstract
The extraction of crude oil in deep waters represents a major technological
challenge. One of the most common problems in these oil and gas extraction conditions
is the formation of gas hydrates that can cause plugging and hinder the transportation
of crude oil. For this reason, great efforts have been made in the development of
hydrate inhibitors, among which ILs have shown to be a very promising alternative. In
this chapter, the development and evaluation of ILs as hydrate inhibitors are discussed.
Keywords: Anti-agglomerant, Clusters, Deepwater, Imidazolium, Ionic liquids, Hydrate inhibitors, Long alkyl chain, Low temperature, Low toxicity, Methane, Oil, Pyridinium.
