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

Knowledge of the mechanical properties of clathrate hydrates is central for studying the
mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments, their associated applications in …

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 …

Hydraulic fracturing is considered a promising stimulation technology for low-permeability
hydrate reservoirs. To date, only a few studies have focused on hydraulic fracturing in …

The Gulf of Mexico Gas Hydrates Joint Industry Project (JIP) is a consortium of production
and service companies and some government agencies formed to address the challenges …

Gas hydrates consist of guest gas molecules inside hydrogen-bonded water lattices. Natural
gas hydrates are found in offshore and permafrost regions. The large amounts of gas …

The small‐strain mechanical properties (eg, seismic velocities) of hydrate‐bearing
sediments measured under laboratory conditions provide reference values for calibration of …

Natural gas hydrate is a promising energy resource in the future because of its little
contamination and huge reserve. However, gas exploitation may induce large deformation …

Physical property measurements of sediment cores containing natural gas hydrate are
typically performed on material exposed, at least briefly, to non‐in situ conditions during …

The geomechanical stability of the permafrost formations containing gas hydrates in the
Arctic is extremely vulnerable to global warming and the drilling of wells for oil and gas …
