Numerical simulation of gas production from natural gas hydrate deposits with multi-branch wells: Influence of reservoir properties

Panpan Zhang et al.

Summary: Natural gas hydrate is considered a crucial future energy source, but commercial production is challenging for hydrate accumulations without impermeable boundaries. The reservoir properties have an impact on the gas production potential, with high initial hydrate saturation leading to longer production duration but lower production rate. An increase in intrinsic permeability of isotropic reservoirs may shorten production duration but result in a lower gas recovery ratio.

Comprehensive evaluation of gas production efficiency and reservoir stability of horizontal well with different depressurization methods in low permeability hydrate reservoir

Faling Yin et al.

Summary: Two successful trials in the South China Sea have shown that low-permeability hydrate reservoirs have great potential for commercial exploitation. By evaluating different depressurization schemes, it was found that step-wise depressurization and cycling depressurization can improve production capacity to varying degrees. The study also highlighted the importance of considering both production efficiency and reservoir stability when developing low-permeability hydrate reservoirs.

3D numerical simulation on drilling fluid invasion into natural gas hydrate reservoirs

Lin Dong et al.

Summary: This study developed a 3-D coupled thermal-hydro-chemical model to investigate the drilling fluid invasion process and dynamic responses of gas hydrate reservoirs. The invasion characteristics mainly depend on drilling fluid pressure and permeability, while temperature affects hydrate dissociation. Fluid-loss velocity increases slowly due to the increase in permeability induced by hydrate dissociation after an initial sharp decrease in invasion.

Prospect of marine natural gas hydrate stimulation theory and technology system

Wu Nengyou et al.

Summary: The key to realizing the commercial production of natural gas hydrate (NGH) is to significantly increase the NGH productivity, whether by enlarging the drainage area, improving dissociation efficiency, or enhancing seepage conditions. The use of complex-structure wells, multiple-well patterns, novel production methods, and reservoir stimulation technologies can greatly increase NGH productivity. However, there are technical bottlenecks in fundamental research on NGH production that need to be addressed, such as sample preparation, simulated reservoir monitoring, and mechanical coupling technologies. The combined application of complex-structure wells, well-pattern production models, novel production methods, and reservoir stimulation technologies are key to increasing NGH productivity in a significant scale.
