In the oil and gas industry, the stoppage of the production and transportation flowlines caused by the deposition of organic and inorganic compounds yields huge financial losses and environmental concerns. One of the most common and critical inorganic deposition is related with gas hydrates, which are crystalline water-based solids, physically similar to ice, formed in conditions of high pressure and low temperatures. Due to the worrying facts, phenomena related to hydrates, as formation, dissociation, and forms to its mitigation have been studied for years by researchers. In this work, experiments were carried out to analyze ethane gas hydrate formation in water-in-model oil emulsions, through a rheological analysis based on the variation of pressure, shear rate and water volume fraction, and using the vane and concentric cylinder geometries. High pressure time sweep tests were performed, and the results were presented through viscosity and pressure curves. The amount of water converted to hydrate was also estimated through the equation of state and related to the viscosity of the hydrate slurries formed. The results obtained showed that the induction period was reduced by increasing the subcooling, water cut, and shear rate. The higher the water volume fraction, the higher the level reached by viscosity when hydrate formation is identified. The relative viscosity after hydrate formation was studied. This knowledge provided a more effective understanding of some differences observed between the two geometries. And to complement the study, shear rate ramps were performed showing similarities between results with concentric cylinders but differences with vane. Both geometries, vane and concentric cylinders, seem to be adequate to study hydrate formation and similar qualitative results were obtained.
