Equilibrium conditions for hydrates obtained from water emulsions in crude oils of the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoe, Verkhnechonskoe, Gerasimovskoe, and Usinskoe fields have been studied, as well as the relative rates of hydrate formation in these systems. It has been concluded that the presence of oil doe...
