Numerical simulation on gas production from a hydrate reservoir underlain by a free gas zone

Fluid-Solid Coupling Numerical Simulation on Natural Gas Production from Hydrate Reservoirs by Depressurization

Identification of Gas Accumulation Adjacent to the Gas Hydrate Bearing Zone by Inversion Utilizing AVO Attribute

The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...

Simulation of Bioreactors for PHB Production from Natural Gas

Recently, many economic studies of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB production on an industrial scale, and the impact of replacing petrochemical polymers by PHB were carried out, clearly indicating that the most crucial factors to reduce the cost of producing biopolymers are allotted to the application of microbial production strains capable of high productivi...

Acoustic Velocity Log Numerical Simulation and Saturation Estimation of Gas Hydrate Reservoir in Shenhu Area, South China Sea

Gas hydrate model and free gas model are established, and two-phase theory (TPT) for numerical simulation of elastic wave velocity is adopted to investigate the unconsolidated deep-water sedimentary strata in Shenhu area, South China Sea. The relationships between compression wave (P wave) velocity and gas hydrate saturation, free gas saturation, and sediment porosity at site SH2 are studied, r...

An International Effort to Compare Gas Hydrate Reservoir Simulators

This collaborative effort to compare the world’s leading gas hydrate reservoir simulators is designed primarily to exchange information and insight that will lead to the improvement in simulation capability of experimental and naturally occurring gas hydrate accumulations. The initial phase of the code comparison activity achieved the simulation of five problems of increasing complexity by five...
