Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with concentrations of 300 ppm and 500 ppm; cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) with concentrations of 220 ppm and 700 ppm; and water-based nanofluids of SiO2, Al2O3, and CuO with concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% were used as kinetic promoters in methane hydrate formation process at initial conditions of 274.15 K and 5.5 MPa and carbon dioxide hydrate formation process at initial conditions of 274.15 K and 3 MPa. Englezos and Bishnoi model was utilized for calculating the apparent rate constant of hydrate growth and van der Waals-platteeuw model coupled with CPA equation of state was used to model hydrate phase equilibrium conditions. SDS with a concentration of 500 ppm and CTAB with a concentration of 700 ppm are the most effective promoters in increasing the average apparent rate constant and water to hydrate conversion. SiO2 nanofluid with a concentration of 0.3 wt% shows the most promising promotion effects by reducing the induction times of CO2 and CH4 hydrates formation by 70 and 74%, respectively. Aqueous solution of SDS with a concentration of 500 ppm is the most effective promoter that can enhance the average apparent rate constant of CO2 and CH4 by 350 and 200%, respectively.
