Methane hydrate re-formation and blockage mechanism in a pore-level water-gas flow process

Huiru Sun et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the factors influencing hydrate re-formation characteristics by simulating two-phase flow in hydrate sediment. The results show that temperature and pressure exhibit three stages of change in the water-dominated two-phase flow process. A lower effective sectional velocity of water enhances the hydrate re-formation process. Meanwhile, the gas phase impedes mass transfer on the water-hydrate interface and acts as a nucleation site to promote hydrate re-formation. The onset time of flow blockage is linearly positively correlated with the effective sectional velocity of water, but the amount of hydrate re-formation decreases with increasing velocity.

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.

Dynamic viscosity of methane and carbon dioxide hydrate systems from pure water at high-pressure driving forces

Andre Guerra et al.

Summary: The viscosity of methane and carbon dioxide hydrate systems were measured using a high-pressure rheometer. The study found that temperature had a greater effect on viscosity than pressure in the absence of hydrate formation. Additionally, the pressure effect on viscosity was higher for carbon dioxide systems compared to methane systems.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of montmorillonite clay particles on the formation and dissociation kinetics of methane hydrate (MH). The experimental results reveal that clay particles promote nucleation but delay the growth kinetics of MH. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms of clay particles on the kinetics of MH and have implications for energy recovery from clay-rich hydrate-bearing sediments.

Significance of Low Stirring Modes on the Kinetics of Methane Hydrate Formation

Iqbal Ahmed et al.

Summary: The kinetics and morphology of methane gas clathrate hydrate formation were studied under low pressure, temperature, and low stirring speeds. The use of low stirring mode (LSM) resulted in shorter formation time, enhanced stability of the hydrate, and improved diffusion rate of methane within the solvent phases. Four distinct morphological characteristics of the hydrate were observed under LSM conditions.

Rheological investigation of hydrate slurry with marine sediments for hydrate exploitation

Zaixing Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the rheological characteristics of hydrate slurries formed in marine sediments using a high-pressure rheometer. The results indicate that the viscosity change is more significant with higher sediment concentration. Oscillatory measurements show that hydrate slurries display viscoelastic fluid characteristics. The yield stress sharply increases when the hydrate volume fraction exceeds a critical value.

Pore-Scale Investigation of CH4 Hydrate Kinetics in Clayey-Silty Sediments by Low-Field NMR

Junjie Ren et al.

Summary: This study investigates the pore-scale behavior of methane hydrate (MH) formation and dissociation in clayey-silty sediments and the associated fluid migration using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The results show that MH forms first in small pores and then in large pores. The presence of clay slows down the growth kinetics of MH. During depressurization, MH dissociates first in large pores in sand and free water migrates to small pores associated with clay.

Investigation on synergistic deposition of wax and hydrates in waxy water-in-oil (W/O) flow systems

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This study elucidates the synergistic effect of wax and hydrates and its impact on the operation and transportation safety of offshore petroleum fields. Different plugging scenarios and flow properties were observed in systems with varying wax contents. The presence of wax deteriorated the performance of anti-agglomerant, and the wax deposition layer altered the adhesion and bedding of hydrates, resulting in variations in flow properties and wall deposition state. A physical model for the synergistic deposition of wax and hydrates was presented, which is valuable for risk analysis and blockage prediction.

Summary: As an efficient clean energy, natural gas hydrate (NGH) has gained significant attention in recent research. China has made remarkable achievements in NGH exploration in the South China Sea, but there are three major challenges: inconsistent focus, outdated resource evaluation methods, and inaccurate evaluation results. Future research should improve evaluation methods, adopt new theories and methods, enhance the study of different basin conditions, and innovate resource potential evaluation.
