Zusammenfassung:	A composition for preventing or retarding the formation of gas hydrates duri ng the transport of a fluid comprising water and a hydrocarbon through a conduit. The composition is a homopolymer of vinyl caprolactam, or copolymers thereof, having a low molecular weight in the range of 500 to 2500, which is made in a polymerization solvent, preferably a glycol ether, most preferably 2-butoxyethanol and also including a carrier solvent, preferably monoethylene glycol.
