Overview: The petroleum industry spends millions US dollars to combat the formation of hydrates. So, the accuracy of estimating the natural gas hydrates is extremely important for optimizing the cost of piping systems and processing units. Understanding how, when, and where gas hydrate form provides the engineer the method to predict the occurrences of hydrates. Therefore, an accurate and simplified model for predicting the calculations of natural gas hydrate is desirable. In this paper, various correlations widely used in petroleum industry are presented. A computer program is written employing these correlations. A comparative study is presented based on computation using developed program.
