Abstract
Process for transporting gas hydrates formed from a natural gas or from a condensate gas, consisting in using a dispersing additive, possibly coupled with a film-forming additive, in solution in a liquid hydrocarbon fraction, this liquid hydrocarbon fraction participating in the formation of an emulsion and/or of a suspension with the condensation water produced and the hydrates. The dispersing additive is recycled after the transportation of the hydrates in the pipe.
