Multiphase flow and mechanical behaviors induced by gas production from clayey-silt hydrate reservoirs using horizontal well

Yilong Yuan et al.

Summary: Natural gas hydrates are important future clean energy resources. Numerical simulation is an effective method for evaluating hydrate reservoirs and improving gas production efficiency. The placement of horizontal wells significantly affects hydrate production efficiency, and mechanical stability should be considered during depressurization.

2D Numerical Simulation of Hydraulic Fracturing in Hydrate-Bearing Sediments Based on the Cohesive Element

Xiaolong Ma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of reservoir properties and fracturing execution parameters on hydraulic fracturing of natural gas hydrate (NGH) reservoirs using a 2D numerical model. The results indicate that fracture initiation pressure is influenced by gas hydrate saturation, reservoir intrinsic permeability, and in situ horizontal stress, while a higher injection rate of fracturing fluid leads to wider and longer fractures. These findings contribute to a better understanding of hydraulic fracturing in NGH reservoirs and the development of potential reservoir stimulation strategies.

Enhancing the gas production efficiency of depressurization-induced methane hydrate exploitation via fracturing

Jiafei Zhao et al.

Summary: The study found that fracturing can significantly improve gas production efficiency in hydrate-bearing sediments, particularly those with low permeability. The depth of fractures plays a critical role in enhancing gas production efficiency, while timely and adequate heat supply is essential for continuous gas production.

The characteristics and its implications of hydraulic fracturing in hydrate-bearing clayey silt

Yiming Sun et al.

Summary: Research has shown that hydrate-bearing clayey silt can be effectively fractured, with the fracture process divided into initial tensile failure and subsequent erosion stages. Hydraulic fracturing is considered an effective stimulation method, but should be combined with other production measures in fine-grained hydrate reservoirs.

Numerical simulation of horizontal well hydraulic fracturing technology for gas production from hydrate reservoir

Xiaolong Ma et al.

Summary: The research found that a 5-meter horizontal fracture length in the hydrate reservoir significantly increased gas production when the horizontal well was located in different areas within the gas hydrate-bearing layer. Increasing the fracture length from 5 to 20 meters only slightly increased gas production. Additionally, the promotion effects of horizontal fractures on gas production varied based on the location of the horizontal well within the reservoir.
