Summary: The dissociation and combustion of methane hydrate samples were experimentally studied under different thermal conditions. The synergistic effects of simultaneously dissociating methane and carbon dioxide hydrates were analyzed. It was found that ignition of methane hydrate granules was faster than tablets, and increasing the combustion chamber temperature improved the ignition performance of tablets.

Summary: Carbon capture and sequestration is a critical method to reduce carbon footprint and achieve net-zero carbon emissions. This study examines the kinetics of CO2 hydrate formation using liquid CO2 and a green kinetic promoter, and presents a mathematical model for quantifying hydrate formation kinetics. The results show that the green kinetic promoter enhances the overall water to hydrate conversion and reduces the formation process time.

Summary: This study reports phase equilibrium data for urea + methane + water and urea + carbon dioxide + water systems, and finds that urea can be used as a thermodynamic hydrate inhibitor in subsea methane hydrate systems. The inhibition effect of urea is slightly weaker than that of methanol, but it can reach applicable hydrate inhibition temperatures under specific conditions. Based on the present equilibrium data and seafloor conditions, urea can be used for methane gas production and hydrate-based carbon capture and storage systems.

Summary: Replacing CH4 from natural gas hydrates with CO2 can be improved by applying oscillating electric fields. The presence of electric fields enhances the dissociation of hydrates and increases the diffusion of CH4 and CO2 molecules. Increasing the frequency, strength, or application time of the electric field leads to higher efficiency in CH4 replacement.

Summary: This study found that a small amount of surfactant DSS can significantly promote the formation of methane and CO2 hydrates, but the promotion effect on CO2 hydrate is significantly reduced. DSS is effective in increasing the formation rate of hydrates and shows better promotion effect compared to other surfactants.

Summary: CH4/CO2 mixed hydrates can be dissociated effectively using the multistep cyclic depressurization method, leading to improved CH4 recovery below the stability pressure of CH4 hydrate. The study also highlights the impact of chemicals in the aqueous phase and reservoir temperature on recovery and storage yield. Additionally, the morphology study demonstrates the expansion of hydrate volume during cyclic depressurization, confirming hydrate reformation from released water from dissociation.

Summary: The mechanical stability of CO2-CH4 heteroclathrate hydrate in gas hydrate deposits is influenced by strain-induced fracture behaviors under different conditions. The presence of hydrogen bonds plays a key role in dominating the deformation of the hydrate. An abnormal mechanical strengthening is observed when CO2 saturation is around 0.75.

Summary: The study focused on the hydrate dissociation conditions of CO2/refrigerant and sucrose/fructose/glucose solution systems, with experimental data measured using the isochoric pressure method. Several models were developed based on the Van der Waals-Platteeuw solid solution theory to predict the hydrate dissociation conditions, providing a satisfactory representation of the experimental data with model errors ranging from 0.03% to 4.40% AARD(P) %.

Summary: This study develops a model to investigate the effects of initial water on CO2-CH4 dynamic replacement in a hydrate in a pore network, and validates the model with a previous experiment. The results show that the presence of initial water leads to a faster carbon dioxide displacement, weaker methane hydrate dissociation, more pure carbon dioxide hydrate formation, similar mixed hydrate generation, and a lower exchange rate. The exchange reaction starts at the edges of hydrate distribution areas and progresses towards the inside.

Summary: In this study, a new horizontal biaxial stirring instrument was used to prepare cyclopentane hydrate, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation was used to study the flow, pressure, and velocity fields. The results showed that the complex secondary flow promoted the mixing of cyclopentane and water, reduced the dead zone area, and decreased the risk of adherent growth of hydrate.

Summary: In this study, experiments were conducted to dissociate mixed CO2 + CH4 hydrates by depressurization and thermal stimulation. The kinetics, fluid production behavior, heat transfer characteristics, and separation factors were examined during the hydrate formation and dissociation processes. The results showed consistent gas consumption and phase saturation, with a stochastic induction time ranging from 38 to 58 minutes. The hydrate exhibited a strong selectivity to CH4 during the gas mixture hydrate formation process, and the gas production increased with decreasing depressurization pressure.

Summary: This review comprehensively summarizes recent mechanical studies on hydrate-bearing sediment (HBS), clarifies the influences of several important parameters on the mechanical behavior of HBS, discusses corresponding particle-level mechanisms, and investigates the influences of hydrate exploitation techniques on the strength and deformation behavior of HBS. The proposed relationships and mechanisms provide insightful guidance for understanding the mechanical behavior of HBS and developing models for predicting the structural evolution of HBS during NGH exploration and exploitation.

Summary: The research investigates the dynamic rate limiting steps in the dissociation of methane hydrates and the formation of CO2 hydrates, with results suggesting that CO2 injection and substitution can effectively and environmentally sensitively produce hydrates. Different experimental conditions show that the addition of N-2 can increase CH4 release, but pure CO2 injection alone cannot generate effective hydrate substitution.
