Coupled multiphase flow and pore compression computational model for extraction of offshore gas hydrates

Pengwei Zhang et al.

Summary: A coupled multiphase flow computational model is developed to simulate gas hydrate extraction with phase transition and pore compression. The model is validated and used to investigate the factors influencing gas hydrate extraction efficiency through the simulation of a gas hydrate chimney.

Long-term numerical simulation of a joint production of gas hydrate and underlying shallow gas through dual horizontal wells in the South China Sea

Rupeng Wei et al.

Summary: Recent field tests in Japan and China have attracted worldwide attention to marine gas hydrate reservoirs. To improve economic efficiency, a new scheme is proposed to jointly produce gases from the hydrate layer and its underlying shallow gas layer. The use of dual horizontal wells can significantly increase cumulative gas yield compared to a single vertical well scenario. However, there is a potential risk of interlayer failure due to pressure differences, which can be mitigated by controlling the depressurization scheme in different layers. An analysis shows promising positive energy harvest and suggests its potential application in field tests in the South China Sea without disturbing reservoir stability.

Enhancement of gas production from low-permeability hydrate by radially branched horizontal well: Shenhu Area, South China Sea

Guangrong Jin et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigated a novel deployment method, radial three-branch horizontal well, to enhance gas production. The results showed that the depth of well deployment and the length of multi-branch well significantly affected the gas and water production. The interference around the intersection of branches enhanced temperature recovery and the dissociation of hydrates.

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.

Enhancing gas production from Class II hydrate deposits through depressurization combined with low-frequency electric heating under dual horizontal wells

Ermeng Zhao et al.

Summary: A method of depressurization combining low-frequency electric heating under dual horizontal wells is proposed to exploit Class II hydrate deposits, and the energy recovery behaviors are studied through numerical simulation. Results show that additional wellbore heating at the beginning of production accelerates hydrate dissociation, reducing lag time significantly.

A coupled thermo-hydrologic-mechanical (THM) model to study the impact of hydrate phase transition on reservoir damage

Xiaoqiang Liu et al.

Summary: Thermal fluid injection can disrupt the hydrate phase equilibrium, leading to hydrate decomposition and saturation decline, affecting reservoir parameters, increasing reservoir pore pressure, impacting rock cohesion and elastic modulus, altering effective stress, inducing pore deformation, and influencing permeability. The main external factors affecting hydrate phase transition are thermal fluid temperature and injection rate.

Dissociation and transport modeling of methane hydrate in core-scale sandy sediments: A comparative study

Rui Song et al.

Summary: A better understanding of the dissociation and transport mechanism of methane hydrate in sandy sediments is crucial for future commercial extraction. This study presents a comparative study on the modeling of methane hydrate dissociation and transport in core-scale sandy sediments, achieving improvements such as non-uniform distribution of synthetic hydrate and better agreement between simulation and experimental data. Additionally, the investigation into the physical reasons for phenomena such as mini peaks in far-field pressure and temperature fluctuations in Masuda's experiments provides new insights for modeling validation.
