Clathrate or gas hydrates have gained tremendous interest due to their potential
applications in various industries and flow assurance problems in the oil and gas sector. In …

Natural gas hydrate is a promising energy resource in the future because of its little
contamination and huge reserve. However, gas exploitation may induce large deformation …

The formation and dissociation of hydrate at the pore scale can be observed qualitatively
using μ-CT X-ray imaging. However, a quantitative criterion for hydrate pattern is not …

Mechanical behavior of hydrate‐bearing sediments is critical for well stability, reservoir
deformation, and sea floor settlement during gas production. Current understanding on the …

Both intra-pore hydrate morphology and inter-pore hydrate distribution influence the
physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments, yet there has been no pore-scale …

Understanding the characteristics of hydrate formation and dissociation in porous media is
of great significance for natural gas hydrate exploitation and gas storage underground. In …

Gas hydrate, as a solid pore constituent, can potentially share external load with sediment
matrix, and critically impact geological evolution of its hosting sediments, well integration …

The influence of methane hydrate on the permeability of hosting sediments is critical to
understand natural hydrate formation and gas production. Reported experimental data from …

Methane hydrates with underlying gas are promising for gas production commercially in
case of accurate prediction and timely effective measures taken to control dynamic …

How natural gas hydrates nucleate and grow is a crucial scientific question. The research on
it will help solve practical problems encountered in hydrate accumulation, development, and …
