Methane Hydrate Formation in Thick Sandstones by Free Gas Flow

Journal Article You, Kehua ; Flemings, Peter B. - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Abstract We show with a two‐dimensional multiphase flow and multicomponent transport model that free gas flow is a viable mechanism to form concentrated methane hydrate in meter‐scale, dipping sandstones far above the base of the hydrate stability zone (BHSZ). In this model, gas preferentially flows updip along the top of sandstone due to buoyancy. This drives hydrate formation, increasing the local salinity to the stability limit and developing three‐phase (gas, liquid, and hydrate) equilibrium above the BHSZ. With time, the gas and the hydrate solidification front (HSF) advance together updip. Behind the HSF, hydrate continues to form as the elevatedmore »« less

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

Mechanisms of Methane Hydrate Formation in Geological Systems

Journal Article You, K. ; Flemings, P. B. ; Malinverno, A. ; ... - Reviews of Geophysics (1985)

Abstract Natural gas hydrate is ice‐like mixture of gas (mostly methane) and water that is widely found in sediments along the world's continental margins and within and beneath permafrost and glaciers in a near‐surface depth interval where the pressure is sufficiently high and temperature sufficiently low for gas hydrate to be stable. We categorize the myriad of geological gas hydrate deposits into five characteristic types. We then review the multiple quantitative models that have proposed to describe the genesis of these deposits and describe how each may have formed. We emphasize the importance of coupling multiphase flow (free gas andmore »« less
