Abstract
As the understanding of natural gas hydrates as a vast potential resource deepens, their importance as a future clean energy source becomes increasingly evident. However, natural gas hydrates trend towards secondary generation during extraction and transportation, leading to safety issues such as pipeline blockages. Consequently, developing new and efficient natural gas hydrate inhibitors has become a focal point in hydrate research. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) offer an effective solution by disrupting the nucleation and growth processes of hydrates without altering their thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. This paper systematically reviews the latest research progress and development trends in KHIs for natural gas hydrates, covering their development history, classification, and inhibition mechanisms. It particularly focuses on the chemical properties, inhibition effects, and mechanisms of polymer inhibitors such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap). Studies indicate that these polymer inhibitors provide an economical and efficient solution due to their low dosage and environmental friendliness. Additionally, this paper explores the environmental impact and biodegradability of these inhibitors, offering guidance for future research, including the development, optimization, and environmental assessment of new inhibitors. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research, this work aims to provide a theoretical foundation and technical reference for the commercial development of natural gas hydrates, promoting their safe and efficient use as a clean energy resource.

Abstract
In ocean conditions of low temperature and high pressure, gas can be converted into hydrates, impacting the behavior of plumes from oil and gas blowouts. This study presented and evaluated formulations to parameterize the processes of formation, dissolution, and decomposition of hydrates implemented in a numerical model that simulates the fate of oil and gas releases in deepwater. Comparisons between the model results and available observations showed a good agreement. Numerical experiments were performed to understand the plume behavior with the presence of hydrates from blowouts at different depths. The analysis of the dynamics of the plume composed of water and gas showed that the hydrate formation increases the plume density and reduces its acceleration due to the buoyancy. As expected, the deeper the blowout, the greater the mass of hydrate in the plume and slower its displacement, spending more time to complete the disappearance of the hydrate.
