Pore-network study of methane hydrate dissociation.
A two-dimensional pore-network model based on invasion percolation is used to study the patterns obtained from the release of methane during the dissociation of methane hydrates (without including dissociation kinetics) caused by a sudden pressure reduction in the system below the hydrate equilibrium pressure. The concept of the critical gas saturation S(gc) (volume fraction of the gas phase at...
متن کاملAcoustic Determination of Methane Hydrate Dissociation Pressures
The unique nature of the molecular structures of gas hydrates results in curious acoustic properties which have yet to be adequately characterized. Understanding the acoustic behavior of hydrates in liquids, in bubbly liquids, and in sediments containing liquids and/or gas is vital for surveying their location using seismic or echosounding techniques and may become a key tool for monitoring hyd...
متن کاملMolecular-dynamics simulations of methane hydrate dissociation.
Nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations have been carried out at 276.65 K and 68 bar for the dissolution of spherical methane hydrate crystallites surrounded by a liquid phase. The liquid was composed of pure water or a water-methane mixture ranging in methane composition from 50% to 100% of the corresponding theoretical maximum for the hydrate and ranged in size from about 1600 to 2200 w...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Methane Hydrate Dissociation by Depressurization in Porous Sediments
Based on currently available data from site measurements in the Shenhu Area of the South China Sea, methane hydrate dissociation behavior by depressurization is studied in a one-dimensional experimental apparatus. According to time variation of temperature, resistance and gas production, the hydrate dissociation process is divided into three stages: free gas release, rapid dissociation and grad...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Simulation of Methane Hydrate Dissociation along the West Spitsbergen Margin
Vast quantities of methane are trapped in oceanic hydrate deposits, and there is concern that a rise in the ocean temperature will induce dissociation of these hydrate accumulations, potentially releasing large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. The recent discovery of active methane gas venting along the landward limit of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) on the shallow continental sl...
