Validation of strongly coupled geomechanics and gas hydrate reservoir simulation with multiscale laboratory tests

Jihoon Kim et al.

Summary: In this study, we validate a coupled flow-geomechanics simulator called T+M-AM for gas hydrate deposits. Two laboratory experiments are conducted to replicate the production of gas hydrates by depressurization in the Ulleung Basin. The results show that T+M-AM is a reliable simulator for strongly coupled flow and geomechanics systems in both permafrost and deep oceanic hydrate deposits.

Effects of surface property of mixed clays on methane hydrate formation in nanopores: A molecular dynamics study

Fengyi Mi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of mixed clay surfaces on CH4 hydrate formation using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the surfaces of mixed clays adsorb CH4, H2O, and ions, thereby changing their concentrations in the nanopores and affecting hydrate formation. Different affinities for adsorption are observed for surfaces of montmorillonite, illite, and different components of kaolinite, leading to variations in CH4 and ion concentrations and influencing hydrate growth.

Effects of marine environments on methane hydrate formation in clay nanopores: A molecular dynamics study

Fengyi Mi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation of CH4 hydrates in clay nanopores under the influence of marine environmental factors such as seawater salinity, pressure, and temperature. The results reveal that high salinity hinders diffusion, high pressure promotes diffusion, and high temperature causes phase separation.

Enhanced gas production of silty clay hydrate reservoirs using multilateral wells and reservoir reformation techniques: Numerical simulations

Fulong Ning et al.

Summary: This study evaluates and compares multilateral wells and reservoir reformation techniques in low-permeability silty clay hydrate reservoirs. The results show that multilateral wells enhance gas extraction, but the stimulation effect decreases with extended production cycles. Hydraulic slotting is suitable for short-term trials, and burden sealing is better for long-term gas recovery.
