Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of pressure and temperature of the gas–water medium on the process of hydrocarbon gas hydrate formation occurring at the phase interface. Herein, a mathematical model is proposed to determine the optimum ratios of pressure, gas temperatures, water, and gas bubble sizes in the bubbling, gas ejection, or mixing processes. As a result of our work, we determined that gas hydrate in these processes is formed at the gas–water interface, that is, on the boundary surface of gas bubbles. Moreover, there is a gas temperature range where the hydrate formation rate reaches its maximum. These study findings can be used to optimize various technological processes associated with the production of gas hydrates in the industry.
