In gas clathrate hydrates, inclusion gas molecules stabilize crystalline water structures. In addition to being fundamentally interesting, gas hydrates attract significant practical attention because of their possible application in various high-tech technologies. However, gas hydrates pose health, safety, and environmental risks when they form within oil and gas pipelines, as well as within hydrocarbon-producing and treatment facilities. Among available strategies to control and sometimes prevent hydrate plug formation is the use of surface-active low-molecular-weight compounds, known as antiagglomerants (AAs). AAs prevent the agglomeration of small hydrate particles into large plugs. It is not clear whether AAs promote or frustrate hydrate growth. We present two molecular mechanisms by which AAs promote and frustrate, respectively, hydrate growth. Our results could lead to innovative methodologies for managing hydrates in high-tech applications, as well as for securing the safety of oil and gas operations.
