Abstract
A method of transporting hydrates suspended in a fluid comprising water, a gas and a liquid hydrocarbon is described in which at least one non-ionic amphiphilic composition obtained by reacting at least one polymerized unsaturated vegetable oil with an aminoalcohol is incorporated into the fluid. The non-ionic amphiphilic composition is generally introduced in a concentration of 0.1% to 5% by weight with respect to the water.
