The paper presents the results of laboratory experiments on formation and dissociation of hydrates of natural gases containing nitrogen and hydrogen sulphide. The hydrate metastability region and subcooling temperatures were measured and analyzed. The relationship between the gas composition and temperature of subcooling is investigated.
