Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes wet natural gas to cool?

💡 Explanation

Hydrate formation plugs depressurized pipelines because the Joule-Thomson effect causes cooling during expansion, promoting hydrate formation from water and methane, rather than the gas remaining stable; therefore blockage occurs.
