Described embodiments include a system and a method. A described pipeline system includes a transportation conduit containing a gas hydrate flowing from a first geographical location to another geographical location. The pipeline system includes a cooling system in thermal contact with the flowing gas hydrate and maintaining the temperature of the flowing gas hydrate within a target temperature range predicted to maintain a selected stability of the flowing gas hydrate. In an embodiment, the pipeline system includes a controller configured to control a pressure or temperature of the flowing gas hydrate in response to a sensed pressure or temperature of the flowing gas hydrate.
