Abstract:Methane hydrate, a potential clean fuel with vast resources, has attracted significant global attention for its exploitation. However, concerns about methane leakage during the hydrate production process persist. This study aims to investigate the possibility of methane leakage during hydrate exploitation using the depressurization and hot water injection methods, as assessed through numerical simulation. Simulation results indicate that, when the depressurization method is employed, dissociated methane remain… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
