Based on the special physical and chemical properties of hydrate, as a new technology, method of gas hydrate is widely used in many fields, such as desalination, solid state storage and transportation of natural gas, gas separation, carbon dioxide capture and storage, etc. But due to the harsh conditions of hydrate formation, its formation rate and gas storage capacity are still far behind that of commercial applications, so special technical means are needed to reduce hydrate formation conditions and strengthen hydrate formation rate and gas storage capacity. In this work, the research status of strengthening methods for hydrate formation process is reviewed from three aspects: mechanical strengthening, outfield action and additives, and the development of technology in the future is prospected. From the point of view of the strengthening method, the mechanical strengthening technology is relatively mature, but the energy consumption required by mechanical stirring and the heat energy generated by the stirring process are both large, and increase geometrically with the increase of the device. The most extensive research on the reinforcement of additives, the effect is relatively ideal, but the reinforcement method of additives will inevitably bring new pollution to the system or products, not conducive to the actual promotion and application. There are few studies on field reinforcement, which are still in the experimental and even theoretical stage, and there is still a large space for development and improvement.
