Thermotactic habit of gas hydrate growth enables a fast transformation of melting ice

Lei Yang et al.

Summary: The unique behavior of gas hydrate formation, characterized by anisotropic growth and thermotactic behavior, was identified. By regulating temperature and heat transfer scheme, one can control the morphology and behavior of hydrate formation, which is important for the application of hydrate-based techniques.

Long-term numerical simulation of a joint production of gas hydrate and underlying shallow gas through dual horizontal wells in the South China Sea

Rupeng Wei et al.

Summary: Recent field tests in Japan and China have attracted worldwide attention to marine gas hydrate reservoirs. To improve economic efficiency, a new scheme is proposed to jointly produce gases from the hydrate layer and its underlying shallow gas layer. The use of dual horizontal wells can significantly increase cumulative gas yield compared to a single vertical well scenario. However, there is a potential risk of interlayer failure due to pressure differences, which can be mitigated by controlling the depressurization scheme in different layers. An analysis shows promising positive energy harvest and suggests its potential application in field tests in the South China Sea without disturbing reservoir stability.

A comprehensive review of the effect of different kinetic promoters on methane hydrate formation

Ekta Chaturvedi et al.

Summary: Gas hydrates are emerging as a better alternative for production, storage, and transportation of natural gases, but factors like slow formation rate and limited storage capacity hinder their industrial application. Different types of promoters and synergists have been developed to enhance the kinetics and storage capacity of gas hydrates.

Effect of Asphaltenes on the Kinetics of Methane Hydrate Formation and Dissociation in Oil-in-Water Dispersion Systems Containing Light Saturated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Siddhant Kumar Prasad et al.

Summary: The study shows that aromatic hydrocarbons in oil make methane gas less soluble, leading to hydrate formation, while asphaltenes may act as nucleation sites for hydrate formation and limit crystal growth during hydrate formation.

Hydrate blockage observation and removal using depressurization in a fully visual flow loop

Zheyuan Liu et al.

Summary: Hydrate blockages in gas transportation pipelines pose a serious flow assurance problem, and both the formation and removal processes require comprehensive analysis. The study revealed that LL plays a crucial role in the formation of blockages, with lower LL during shut-in operations leading to faster formation of blockages.
