Even a small fraction of fine particles can have a significant effect on gas production from
hydrate-bearing sediments and sediment stability. Experiments were conducted to …

Natural gas hydrates are widely distributed in silty marine sediments containing fine
particles less than 75 μm in size. The effects of WC (water content) on the behavior of fine …

Gas hydrates that occur in offshore sediments and onshore permafrost represent a vast
source of natural gas. However, current gas production trials indicate that sand production …

Large-scale simulation can improve the understanding of production behaviour from natural
hydrate deposits, especially involving heterogeneous hydrates. In this work, a …

Mechanical behavior of hydrate‐bearing sediments is critical for well stability, reservoir
deformation, and sea floor settlement during gas production. Current understanding on the …

Understanding mechanical interactions between hydrate and hosting sediments is critical for
evaluating formation stability and associated environmental impacts of hydrate-bearing …

Natural gas hydrates have attracted much attention in recent years. It is important to
investigate the effects of gas occurrence pattern on hydrate growth habits since distribution …

There have been several field tests around the world to recover natural gas from gas hydrate
reservoirs, yet they mostly suffer from the low productivity, sand problems and poor …

In this paper, we evaluate the gas production potential of disperse, low-saturation (SH< 0.1)
hydrate accumulations in oceanic sediments. Such hydrate-bearing sediments constitute a …

The strength of hydrate‐bearing sediments is an important input parameter for numerical
simulations for evaluating the long‐term future gas production from these sediments and the …
