NOVELTY - Forming a gas hydrate containing water and a hydrate-forming gas, comprises: injecting water into a mixing zone (205) at water injection rate; and admitting gaseous stream comprised of hydrate-forming gas into mixing zone at a gas injection rate and maintaining gas injection rate relative to water injection rate so that the water and hydrate-forming gas mix in the mixing zone forms a water-gas mixture (206) in the mixing zone, so that the water-gas mixture enters the reaction zone as many water-gas droplets.    USE - The method is useful for forming a gas hydrate containing water and a hydrate-forming gas.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides the gas hydrates with a reduced induction time.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Forming a gas hydrate containing water or a hydrate-forming gas, comprises: (a) injecting the water into a mixing zone (205) at a water injection rate; (b) admitting a gaseous stream comprised of the hydrate-forming gas into the mixing zone at a gas injection rate, and maintaining the gas injection rate relative to the water injection rate so that the water and the hydrate-forming gas mix in the mixing zone forms a water-gas mixture (206) in the mixing zone, where the water-gas mixture is comprised of bubbles of the hydrate-forming gas separated by an interstitial water which is comprised of the water, and the water-gas mixture has a water-gas pressure; and (c) spraying the water-gas mixture through an orifice into a reaction zone so that the water-gas mixture enters the reaction zone as many water-gas droplets, where the water-gas droplets are comprised of the hydrate-forming gas surrounded by a film of the water, and the reaction zone has a reaction zone pressure and a reaction zone temperature. The reaction zone temperature is less than or equal to the equilibrium hydrate formation temperature for the gas hydrate at the reaction zone pressure, where the reaction zone pressure is sufficiently less than the water-gas pressure so the hydrate-forming gas comprising the water-gas droplets expands, and the expansion of the hydrate-forming gas cools and maintains at least some portion of the water-gas droplets at a hydrate forming temperature. The hydrate-forming temperature is less than or equal to the equilibrium hydrate formation temperature for the gas hydrate at the reaction zone pressure, so that some portion of the water and some portion of the hydrate-forming gas comprising the water-gas droplets form the gas hydrate in the reaction zone, thus forming the gas hydrate.
