Pore habit of methane hydrate and its evolution in sediment matrix – Laboratory visualization with phase-contrast micro-CT

Journal Article Lei, Liang ; Seol, Yongkoo ; Choi, Jeong-Hoon ; ... - Marine and Petroleum Geology

Describing the pore habit of methane hydrate in sediment matrices is essential for understanding natural distribution of methane hydrate, methane trace (transport and solidification) in the hydrate stability zone, physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments, and the associated influence on potential gas production. Pore habit visualization in natural media at pore scale even with laboratory synthesized cores has been challenging due to the similar densities of methane hydrate from pore liquid. In this work, we used phase-contrast assisted micro-CT with potassium iodine-doped brine to visualize four phases: sand particles, pore fluid, methane hydrate and methane gas. This study visualizes the poremore »« less

Quantifying hydrate solidification front advancing using method of characteristics

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

Here, we develop a one-dimensional analytical solution based on the method of characteristics to explore hydrate formation from gas injection into brine-saturated sediments within the hydrate stability zone. Our solution includes fully coupled multiphase and multicomponent flow and the associated advective transport in a homogeneous system. Our solution shows that hydrate saturation is controlled by the initial thermodynamic state of the system and changed by the gas fractional flow. Hydrate saturation in gas-rich systems can be estimated by 1 – cl ₀/cl _e when Darcy flow dominates, where cl ₀ is the initial mass fraction of salt in brine, andmore »« less

Mechanisms Leading to Co-Existence of Gas Hydrate in Ocean Sediments [Part 1 of 2]

Technical Report Bryant, Steven ; Juanes, Ruben

In this project we have sought to explain the co-existence of gas and hydrate phases in sediments within the gas hydrate stability zone. We have focused on the gas/brine interface at the scale of individual grains in the sediment. The capillary forces associated with a gas/brine interface play a dominant role in many processes that occur in the pores of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The mechanical forces associated with the same interface can lead to fracture initiation and propagation in hydrate-bearing sediments. Thus the unifying theme of the research reported here is that pore scale phenomena are key to understandingmore »« less

The water retention curve and relative permeability for gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments: pore-network model simulation

Journal Article Mahabadi, Nariman ; Dai, Sheng ; Seol, Yongkoo ; ... - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems

Here, the water retention curve and relative permeability are critical to predict gas and water production from hydrate–bearing sediments. However, values for key parameters that characterize gas and water flows during hydrate dissociation have not been identified due to experimental challenges. This study utilizes the combined techniques of micro–focus X–ray computed tomography (CT) and pore–network model simulation to identify proper values for those key parameters, such as gas entry pressure, residual water saturation, and curve fitting values. Hydrates with various saturation and morphology are realized in the pore–network that was extracted from micron–resolution CT images of sediments recovered from themore »« less
