Analysis of depressurization mode on gas recovery from methane hydrate deposits and the concomitant ice generation
TL;DR: In this article, the volumetric and spatial characteristics of the hydrate decomposition during depressurization induced gas production operation were visualized and analyzed using in situ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Influence of reservoir permeability on methane hydrate dissociation by depressurization
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model was developed and validated to investigate the effect of heat transfer on gas production from methane hydrate dissociation by depressurization, thermal stimulation, and a combination of the two methods.

Simulation of microwave stimulation for the production of gas from methane hydrate sediment
TL;DR: In this article, a microwave stimulation model for the production of gas from methane hydrate sediment is developed, which includes mass transport, energy conversion and conservation, and intrinsic kinetic reactions as the governing equations.

Measurement of effective thermal conductivity of hydrate-bearing sediments and evaluation of existing prediction models
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermistor-based method combined with micro-CT observations was employed in the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of porous matrix materials with various hydrate and water saturation levels and physical characteristics.
