Gas hydrates have received considerable attention due to their important role in flow
assurance for the oil and gas industry, their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and …

Methane gas hydrates, crystalline inclusion compounds formed from methane and water,
are found in marine continental margin and permafrost sediments worldwide. This article …

The formation process of gas hydrates in sedimentary matrices is of crucial importance for
the physical and transport properties of the resulting aggregates. This process has never …

The macromechanical properties (strength, stiffness, stress‐strain relationship, etc) of the
hydrate‐bearing sediment are often correlated with the hydrate cementation failure …

The current paper complements the review of the status of the effort toward commercial gas
production from hydrates. We aim to describe the concept of the gas-hydrate (GH) petroleum …

The mechanical behavior of hydrate‐bearing sediments subjected to large strains has
relevance for the stability of the seafloor and submarine slopes, drilling and coring …

The physical properties of gas hydrate‐bearing sediments depend on the volume fraction
and spatial distribution of the hydrate phase. The host sediment grain size and the state of …

Permeability of the hydrate-bearing sediments critically affects the hydrate dissociation
process as well as the rate and efficiency of gas production. Reported permeability values …

Natural hydrate-bearing sediments from the Nankai Trough, offshore Japan, were studied
using the Pressure Core Characterization Tools (PCCTs) to obtain geomechanical …

This paper reports the results of a series of resonant column tests on specimens where gas
hydrate has been formed in sands using an “excess water” technique. In these specimens …
