Experimental Study on the Depressurization of Methane Hydrate in the Clayey Silt Sediments via Hydraulic Fracturing

Xiaochu Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of depressurization experiments were conducted in a triaxial hydraulic fracturing apparatus to investigate the fracturing behavior and gas production characteristics of methane hydrate-bearing sediments. The effects of hydrate saturation, fracturing fluid properties, and in-situ stress on fracturing behavior were analyzed. The results showed that sediments with low hydrate saturation could be fractured, and the fracture initiation pressure was positively correlated with the hydrate saturation. Additionally, the use of medium-viscosity fracturing fluid and inorganic salt-based clay stabilizer solution enhanced gas production rates and permeability, respectively.

Sand Migration Simulation during Gas Production from Gas Hydrate Reservoir at Kuparuk 7-11-12 site in the Prodhoe Bay Unit, Alaska

Shun Uchida et al.

Summary: This study simulates a year-long gas production from a hydrate reservoir and finds that sand mainly comes from the lower portion of the production zone where faster hydrate dissociation occurs. The complex stress transfer caused by the different stiffness and strength of hydrate-bearing sediments and hydrate-free sediments results in shear deformation and sand mobilization. Sand migration has an impact on the gas production rate.

Experimental study on hydraulic fracturing in clayey-silty hydrate-bearing sediments and fracability evaluation based on multilayer perceptron-analytic hierarchy process

Shuaishuai Nie et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of reservoir and engineering parameters on fracture initiation and propagation in clayey-silty hydrate-bearing sediments through a series of hydraulic fracturing experiments. A fracability index (FI) that considers multiple factors is developed based on the experimental data. The results show that fracture initiation and propagation are influenced by various parameters, and hydrate saturation is not the only factor affecting fracture initiation pressure.

Numerical analysis of gas production from large-scale methane hydrate sediments with fractures

Yongchang Feng et al.

Summary: Artificial fractures in methane hydrate reservoirs can significantly improve hydrate dissociation and gas production efficiency, particularly in the early depressurization stage. Higher fracture permeability may shorten the economical production stage but lead to higher production rates. Furthermore, fractures facilitate the flow of hot water into the sediment, enhancing production efficiency during the economical production stage.

Numerical investigation on the long-term gas production behavior at the 2017 Shenhu methane hydrate production site

Tao Yu et al.

Summary: In 2017, a successful offshore methane hydrate production test was conducted at well SHSC-4 in the Shenhu Area of the South China Sea, but the long-term gas production behavior remains unknown and further investigation is required. In this study, a multi-layered methane hydrate reservoir model was built based on the actual geological conditions at this site, and long-term simulations were conducted to predict hydrate dissociation and gas production behaviors in the reservoir, revealing that the majority of gas production originated from the free gas layer, followed by methane gas released from hydrate dissociation, while the three-phase layer contributed the least to gas recovery.

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.

Summary: A better understanding of the dissociation and transport mechanism of methane hydrate in sandy sediments is crucial for future commercial extraction. This study presents a comparative study on the modeling of methane hydrate dissociation and transport in core-scale sandy sediments, achieving improvements such as non-uniform distribution of synthetic hydrate and better agreement between simulation and experimental data. Additionally, the investigation into the physical reasons for phenomena such as mini peaks in far-field pressure and temperature fluctuations in Masuda's experiments provides new insights for modeling validation.
