In this study, a multilayer gas hydrate reservoir model was implemented based on the
geological conditions of the Shenhu area in the South China Sea (SHCS) to predict the …

In this work, hydraulic fracturing was used for gas hydrate production at the second test site
in the South China Sea for the first time. A multilayered hydrate reservoir model with low …

In the two test productions that have been conducted in the hydrate reservoir test
development zone in the South China Sea, the gas production capacity of single wells is low …

The depressurization method was implemented through a horizontal well in the production
test at Shenhu, the South China Sea in 2020. The numerical model of a layered hydrate …

The gas hydrates-bearing shaly silt reservoirs have the characteristics of high reserves and
low permeability. The trial production test in South China Sea in 2020 shows that horizontal …

The dissociation of hydrate plays an important role in restructuring the pore space and
controlling the permeability, which determines the gas recovery from offshore hydrate …

In most of gas hydrates reservoirs, the low permeability of sediments limits the commercial
production of gas hydrates. Hydraulic fracturing is an efficient way to improve the …

In 2017, China successfully conducted its first offshore gas hydrate production test by using
vertical well in the Shenhu area, achieving a total gas production of 3.09× 10 5 m 3 …

Current gas hydrate production test indicates that it is difficult to reach the commercial level
for low permeability hydrate-bearing formation by depressurization method. Hydraulic …

Gas hydrates are considered “near-future energy resources” due to their vast existence all
around the world. Recently, China has tested gas production from methane hydrate-bearing …
