O-01 MODELLING OF HYDRATE PHASE EQUILIBRIA IN POROUS MEDIA K.K. ØSTERGAARD M. LLAMEDO and B. TOHIDI Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh EH14 4AS UK Considering the ever-increasing importance of gas hydrates in marine sediments it is crucial to gain a better understanding of their formation and decomposition in porous media. Before hydrate formation and decomposition in complex marine sediment systems can be successfully described it is necessary to understand the basic interactions between fluids hydrates and the porous medium. One way of obtaining such information is by performing experiments in the controlled laboratory environment using well-defined porous media and fluids. Such data
