Influence of different proportion of CO2/N2 binary gas mixture on methane recovery through replacement processes in natural gas hydrates

Alberto Maria Gambelli et al.

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic and kinetic features of the methane replacement process using CO2-N-2 mixed gas. The results show that the conditions for hydrate formation in the mixed gas are gentler, with the lowest concentration of CO2 in the gaseous phase at a 50% CO2 concentration. The capture rate of N-2 and CO2 increases with decreasing N-2 concentration.

Analyses on CH4 and CO2 hydrate formation to define the optimal pressure for CO2 injection to maximize the replacement efficiency into natural gas hydrate in presence of a silica-based natural porous medium, via depressurization techniques

Alberto Maria Gambelli

Summary: This study demonstrated that conducting CO2 hydrate formation experiments starting at 40 bar pressure is the most effective solution, as it allows for a shorter formation time and reduces the required pressure drop. The more effective kinetic of the process and the negligible risk of methane hydrate re-formation make the 40 bar CO2 injection into the reservoir the best solution to optimize methane recovery, carbon dioxide storage, and seafloor deformations.

Thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of methane hydrate 'nucleation, growth and dissociation processes, according to the labile Cluster theory

Alberto Maria Gambelli et al.

Summary: In this study, methane hydrates were analyzed for their thermodynamic and kinetic properties in the presence of fresh water and a pure quartz porous medium. The Labile Clusters Theory was used to calculate the hydrate formation rate as a first-order chemical kinetic equation, providing insights into the time dependence of the process. Pressure variations were also discussed, revealing consistent similarities with other parameters and allowing for a detailed characterization of the entire process.

An experimental description of the double positive effect of CO2 injection in methane hydrate deposits in terms of climate change mitigation

Alberto Maria Gambelli

Summary: This paper investigates the possibility of injecting CO2 into a hydrate reservoir to prevent methane release. Results show that CO2 is capable of forming a strong hydrate shell around the methane core, preventing its dissociation, leading to both CO2 permanent storage and the prevention of methane release into the atmosphere.

Experimental investigation on the possibility of defining the feasibility of CO2/CH4 exchange into a natural gas hydrate marine reservoir via fast analysis of sediment properties

Alberto Maria Gambelli et al.

Summary: This study investigated the formation of methane hydrate and carbon dioxide hydrate in the presence of two different types of sand simulating seabeds. It was found that the specific characteristics of the seabed, particularly the composition of the sand, significantly influenced the replacement process of CO2/CH4. Sand TS-2 was shown to act as a kinetic and thermodynamic inhibitor for methane hydrate formation while promoting CO2 hydrate formation, making it a strong ally for improving replacement efficiency.

Effect of promoters on CO2 hydrate formation: thermodynamic assessment and microscale Raman spectroscopy/hydrate crystal morphology characterization analysis

Yan Li et al.

Summary: The utilization of CO2 in gas hydrates production has gained interest due to its potential to increase methane recovery rates and store the greenhouse gas in a solid form. However, high pressures and low temperatures are required for CO2 hydrates production, along with elevated energy costs, which can be mitigated using chemical promoters. This research focuses on the molecular and crystalline properties of CO2 hydrates formed with THF and TBAB, showing that THF extends the temperature range for stable hydrate presence and has an optimal promoting concentration of 4.22 mol%.
