Short-range, overpressure-driven methane migration in coarse-grained gas hydrate reservoirs

Journal Article Nole, Michael ; Daigle, Hugh ; Cook, Ann E. ; ... - Geophysical Research Letters

Abstract Two methane migration mechanisms have been proposed for coarse‐grained gas hydrate reservoirs: short‐range diffusive gas migration and long‐range advective fluid transport from depth. Herein, we demonstrate that short‐range fluid flow due to overpressure in marine sediments is a significant additional methane transport mechanism that allows hydrate to precipitate in large quantities in thick, coarse‐grained hydrate reservoirs. Two‐dimensional simulations demonstrate that this migration mechanism, short‐range advective transport, can supply significant amounts of dissolved gas and is unencumbered by limitations of the other two end‐member mechanisms. Short‐range advective migration can increase the amount of methane delivered to sands as compared tomore »« less

Factors Controlling Short-Range Methane Migration of Gas Hydrate Accumulations in Thin Coarse-Grained Layers

Journal Article Wei, Li ; Cook, Ann ; Daigle, Hugh ; ... - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems

Natural gas hydrate is often found in marine sediment in heterogeneous distributions in different sediment types. Diffusion may be a dominant mechanism for methane migration and affect hydrate distribution. We use a 1–D advection–diffusion–reaction model to understand hydrate distribution in and surrounding thin coarse–grained layers to examine the sensitivity of four controlling factors in a diffusion–dominant gas hydrate system. These factors are the particulate organic carbon content at seafloor, the microbial reaction rate constant, the sediment grading pattern, and the cementation factor of the coarse–grained layer. We use available data at Walker Ridge 313 in the northern Gulf of Mexicomore »« less

Modeling the Formation of Hydrate-Filled Veins in Fine-Grained Sediments from in Situ Microbial Methane

Conference Malinverno, Alberto ; Cook, Ann ; Daigle, Hugh

Continental margin sediments are dominantly fine-grained silt and clay, and methane hydrates in these sediments are often found in semi-vertical veins and fractures. In several instances, these hydrate veins occupy discrete depth intervals that are a few tens of meters thick and are surrounded by hydrate-free sediments. As they are not connected with gas sources beneath the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), these isolated hydrate-bearing intervals have been interpreted as formed by in situ microbial methane. To investigate the formation of these hydrate deposits, we applied a time-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction model that includes the effects of sedimentation, compaction,more »« less
