The exchange process between CO2 and methane hydrate has been observed in numerous laboratory experiments, computer simulations, and recently confirmed in a field test. Yet, to date there is no kinetic model capable of accurately predicting the swapping process at given fluid composition and p-T conditions. Major obstacles on the way to an adequate mathematical description are caused by the insufficient characterization of experimental environments and a nearly complete lack of information on the time-resolved composition of the two-phase fluid at the gas hydrate interface. Here we show that all necessary data can be provided by a combination of cryo-SEM, Raman, and neutron diffraction measurements that deliver accurate space-averaged, time-resolved in situ data on the CH4-CO2 exchange reactions at conditions relevant to sedimentary matrixes of continental margins. Results from diffraction are cross-correlated with ex situ Raman spectroscopy to provide reliable information on the preferential sites for CO2 and CH4 in the (partially) exchanged hydrate. We also show a novel approach based on scattering of neutrons to probe the fluid composition during the in situ replacement in a time-resolved, noninvasive manner. The replacement is seen as a two-step process including (1) a fast surface reaction parallel to a fast enrichment of the surrounding fluid phase with CH4 followed by (2) a much slower permeation-limited gas swapping between the gas hydrate and mixed ambient CH4-CO2 fluid. The main part of the replacement reaction takes place in the second stage. Based on our earlier experimental studies and existing literature we work toward a quantitative gas exchange model which elaborates the hole-in-cage-wall diffusion mechanism to describe the two-component gas replacement.
