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.

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.

Gas permeability variation during methane hydrate dissociation by depressurization in marine sediments

Haijun Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of hydrate saturation and effective stress on permeability change. It found that hydrate saturation has a dominant effect on permeability dynamic change under low effective stress, while effective stress variation dominates at higher effective stresses. Additionally, compression was found to enhance heat transfer efficiency in high-saturation samples.

Gas recovery from marine hydrate reservoir: Experimental investigation on gas flow patterns considering pressure effect

Haijun Wang et al.

Summary: Accurate understanding of fluid flow patterns in hydrate-bearing sediments is crucial for economic exploitation. This study investigates the effects of hydrate saturation, effective stress, pore pressure, and osmotic pressure on gas flow patterns. The results show that as hydrate saturation increases, gas flow transitions from viscous flow to slip flow, with the slippage effect becoming more pronounced. Effective stress affects gas permeability's sensitivity to osmotic pressure changes, particularly at lower hydrate saturation. Pore pressure has a minimal impact on gas permeability and flow pattern, while reducing osmotic pressure weakens the slippage effect. Finally, a semi-empirical permeability model is developed based on experimental data.

Deformation characteristics of methane hydrate-bearing clayey and sandy sediments during depressurization dissociation

Yanghui Li et al.

Summary: Natural gas hydrate, as a promising new energy, has attracted wide attention in the past decades. Experimental efforts have been made to explore the mechanical characteristics of hydrate-bearing clayey sediment under stable conditions, but few studies focus on its creep characteristics during the dissociation process. This study presents triaxial creep test results of methane hydrate-bearing clayey sediment using the depressurization dissociation method, with methane hydrate-bearing sandy sediments added for comparison. The results show that depressurization has little effect on axial strain but increases volumetric strain and reduces equivalent Poisson's ratio.

Undrained triaxial tests on water-saturated methane hydrate-bearing clayey-silty sediments of the South China Sea

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: Research has shown that in fine-grained sediments in the South China Sea, the failure strength of methane hydrate-bearing sediments increases with the increase in hydrate saturation and initial effective mean stress. Additionally, the excess pore-water pressure of methane hydrate-bearing sediments remains positive during shear. It is observed that as the hydrate saturation increases, cohesion in the Mohr-Coulomb model increases while the internal friction angle has little dependence on the hydrate saturation.

Shi Shen et al.

Summary: Experimental data from mechanical experiments on HBSs at different temperatures and effective confining pressures revealed a significant correlation between the samples' mechanical properties and temperature and effective confining pressure. The strength of HBSs was found to be positively correlated with effective confining pressure and negatively correlated with temperature. Furthermore, the stress-strain behaviors of the samples shifted from hardening to softening with decreasing effective confining pressure and temperature.
