Abstract:The natural gas hydrate reservoir is known for its low
permeability,
leading to a suboptimal gas production rate, thus impeding its commercial
viability. While reservoirs with high permeability fractures exhibit
greater seepage capacity, their influence on hydrate dissociation
characteristics remains unclear. The present study introduces a coupled
thermo-hydrochemical numerical model to simulate the exploitation
of the fractured hydrate reservoir through depressurization using
a vertical well. The impact of th… Show more
