Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is considered one of the most promising future energy sources
because of its considerable reserves and high energy density, which could meet the …

The safe and efficient production of methane hydrate (MH) has attracted much attention, and
the engineering geological risks in MH production are highly valued. Safety evaluation of the …

The dissociation of natural gas hydrates (NGHs) during production weakens the mechanical
properties of hydrate-bearing sediments (HBSs). Understanding and predicting the …

Gas productivity of current hydrate reservoir tests is too lower to meet the demand of the
commercial level. The main reasons include the low permeability of hydrate-bearing layer …

Macroscopic geomechanical properties of methane hydrate-bearing sands (MHBSs) have
attracted much scholarly attention. But the associated particle-level mechanisms often rely …

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 …

Lack of knowledge on the formation mechanism of heterogeneous hydrate-bearing
sediments (HBS) leads to difficulties of forming nature-like HBS, further resulting in unknown …

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 …

The accurate prediction of Darcy‐scale permeability (absolute permeability and gas‐water
relative permeability) of hydrate‐bearing sediments (HBS) plays a crucial role in assessing …
