Deposits of natural gas hydrates containing sⅡ type structure are a potential candidate for recovering gas and concomitantly sequestering greenhouse gas CO2;an approach that offers a nearly emission-f
The methane hydrate formation and dissociation is very often predicted using empirical intrinsic kinetics models,where the hydrate dissociation rate is proportional to a driving force.One of the most
"Self-preservation" is a kinetic anomaly that allows storing a substantial amount of gas locked in gas hydrate structure far outside their thermodynamic stability field for a period of days,weeks or e

In 2007,the first gas hydrate drilling in the Shenhu area,South China Sea recovered high saturation (>20 %to 40 %) of gas hydrate from silty clay dominated reservoir layer above BSR,being significantl
High-resolution 3D seismic data from offshore Mauritania provide accurate information on seismic amplitude characteristics and the distribution of a bottom simulating reflection (BSR).
The Western High,in the Sea of Marmara,is characterized by a complex fluid circulation system involving free gas migrating through the sediment and bubbling at the seafloor,pore-fluid and oil seepages
Pockmarks are circular or elongated seafloor depressions which are believed to be the expressions of the fluid flow from the subsurface.In deep-sea areas,gas hydrates can form in the sediment from lig
We have evaluated the kinetic hydrate inhibition synergism of a series of tetraalkylphosphonium bromide salts with N-vinyl caprolactam (VCap) based polymers by carrying out high pressure slow constant
