Vast amounts of natural gas hydrate are buried in subseafloor sediments without
impermeable boundaries, which is recognized as an essential energy source for the future …

Natural gas hydrate, a potential energy source, is clean and occurs abundantly in nature.
Enhancing the gas production efficiency from gas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS) is of …

Natural gas hydrate is prevalent in ultralow-permeability fine-grained sediments with
substantial reserves. However, effective and safe gas production from fine-grained hydrate …

The exploitation of natural gas hydrate, an unconventional natural gas, has drawn attention
on a global scale due to increasing imbalance between energy supply and demand …

Recent field tests to recover natural gas from marine gas hydrate reservoirs in Japan and
China have exhibited worldwide attention to this strategic energy form; significant …

A high gas production rate is critical for commercial exploitation of hydrate. Most marine
hydrates deposit in the silty or clay sediments with low permeability, and gas production rate …

Multi-well patterns and complex structural wells can enlarge the contact area between the
wellbore and natural gas hydrate (NGH) to improve productivity significantly, but the …

With the implementation of the production tests in permafrost and offshore regions in
Canada, US, Japan, and China, the study of natural gas hydrate has progressed into the …

The utilization of multiple-well systems was proposed as a novel approach for the future
commercial gas production from offshore methane hydrate deposits. In order to investigate …
