A particle-scale investigation of mechanical behavior of cemented sediment Discrete Element Method

Yanghui Li et al.

Summary: Natural gas hydrate is a clean energy source with high density and considerable reserves. This study focuses on the mechanical behavior of cemented hydrate-bearing sediments and reveals the effect of cementation on their properties. Through numerical simulation tests, it is found that cementation improves the strength and stiffness of the sediments, while the presence of hydrates mainly enhances stiffness. The particle-scale investigation shows that increasing confining pressure and hydrate cementation limit slip and rearrangement of sand particles, leading to strengthened strength. Shear band formation is related to cementation failure.

Compression-induced dynamic change in effective permeability of hydrate-bearing sediments during hydrate dissociation by depressurization

Fanbao Cheng et al.

Summary: Methane hydrate, also known as flammable ice, is a clean energy source that has gained global attention as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The effective permeability, which is influenced by hydrate saturation and porosity changes, plays a crucial role in determining the gas production rate. This study conducted experiments to measure the effective permeability of hydrate-bearing sediments with varying hydrate saturation. The results showed that the effective permeability decreased with increasing hydrate saturation and effective stress. A formula was proposed to estimate the change in effective permeability during hydrate dissociation, and it was integrated into a thermal-hydraulic model to predict gas production under effective stress. The study provided valuable insights into compression-induced changes in effective permeability and gas/water production during hydrate dissociation.

Methane hydrate re-formation and blockage mechanism in a pore-level water-gas flow process

Huiru Sun et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the factors influencing hydrate re-formation characteristics by simulating two-phase flow in hydrate sediment. The results show that temperature and pressure exhibit three stages of change in the water-dominated two-phase flow process. A lower effective sectional velocity of water enhances the hydrate re-formation process. Meanwhile, the gas phase impedes mass transfer on the water-hydrate interface and acts as a nucleation site to promote hydrate re-formation. The onset time of flow blockage is linearly positively correlated with the effective sectional velocity of water, but the amount of hydrate re-formation decreases with increasing velocity.

Microstructure evolution and dynamic permeability anisotropy during hydrate dissociation in sediment under stress state

Peng Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, depressurizing dissociation was conducted on a hydrate-bearing sandy specimen using X-ray CT under triaxial stress. The results show that hydrate dissociation starts from the hydrate-gas interface and then results in the formation of cavities among patchy clusters. As the hydrate particle dissociates to a smaller size, the dissociated water gathers on the surface of the hydrate, preventing contact between the hydrate and gas phases. Subsidence is observed even at a low isotropic stress of 1 MPa after hydrate dissociation. Furthermore, the pore system characteristics vary with decreasing hydrate saturation, and the permeability of the hydrate-bearing sediment increases exponentially with decreasing hydrate saturation and is anisotropic due to the inhomogeneity of hydrate dissociation, which can be predicted via electrical conductivity.

Hydrate phase equilibria in natural sediments: Inhibition mechanism and NMR-based prediction method

Zheng Liu et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel method for predicting hydrate phase equilibria in natural sediments using low-field NMR technology and clarifies its inhibition mechanism from the perspective of different types of pore water. The results show that hydrates act as solid matrices in sediments and reduce pore size, and hydrate formation from bound water is more difficult than from capillary water. The differences in dissociation temperature depression are attributed to water adsorption on the mineral surface and interlayer cation hydration. The feasibility and validity of the NMR-based method in predicting hydrate phase equilibrium condition in natural sediments are verified.

Summary: This study investigates the creep behaviour of sediments containing methane hydrates. The results show the existence of attenuation- and steady-creep stages during creep, with acceleration-creep stage observed under higher-temperature and higher-stress conditions.

Thermodynamics analysis and temperature response mechanism during methane hydrate production by depressurization

Shuang Dong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the temperature response mechanism during methane hydrate production by depressurization. It was found that the temperature decreases with the progress of depressurization and accelerates as the hydrates start to dissociate. The pressure and temperature trajectories are parallel to the hydrate phase equilibrium line at the highest dissociation rate, forming a stationary state of hydrate dissociation.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the time-dependent properties of CO2 hydrate-bearing sediments using undrained triaxial creep tests. The experiments and modeling revealed that CO2 hydrate-bearing sand specimens exhibited accelerated creep behavior, regardless of hydrate saturation.
