“…Out of all the hydrate formers, Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is highly toxic and an aggressive hydrate former. , Being a slightly polar molecule, H 2 S exhibits a unique effect of dipole moment for hydrate stabilization. , Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) stabilizes both small and large cavities of structure-I hydrates. , Oil or natural gas is considered sour if it has a high percentage of hydrogen sulfide. According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, natural gas containing more than 20 ppm H 2 S by volume is generally considered a sour gas. , In addition to being toxic, hydrogen sulfide in the presence of water also damages piping and other equipment handling sour gas by sulfide stress cracking. H 2 S acidifies the water, which causes pitting corrosion to carbon steel pipelines.…”
