Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in kinetic modeling of methane gas hydrate formation

•Understanding the relationship of kinetic conditions for natural gas hydrate formation is a challengeable issue among researchers.•Relationship of growth rate of methane hydrate with temperature and pressure using Artificial intelligence (AI) methods has been modeled.•Artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system as important sub-branches of AI methods had been utilized in the current paper.•Results show that ANIFS is a more potential tool in predication of kinetic conditions for natural gas hydrate formation than ANN.
