Geomechanics of hydrate-bearing reservoir: laboratory testing, numerical modeling and field testing on gas production and geohazard

Session ID#: 73941

Session Description:
Gas production from gas hydrate-bearing reservoir may provide an alternative energy resource. In recent years significant progress has been made in laboratory testing and numerical modeling of gas hydrate-bearing reservoir. Furthermore, several field tests demonstrated feasibility of gas production from  hydrate-bearing sediments but it may still pose potential geohazard such as sand flow and seafloor subsidence. Geomechanics of gas hydrate-bearing sediments therefore plays an important role for a long-term, successful gas production. This session intends to serve as a forum for fostering idea exchanges and collaborations. Researchers from all over the world are invited to present their progress on topics related geomechanics of gas hydrate-bearing reservoir. These include, but not limited to, advancement in laboratory testing, experimental studies of effects of various conditions on geomechanical properties, state-of-the-art pressure coring technique, constitutive model development, multiscale numerical modeling, efficient coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical reservoir modeling, in-situ geomechanical characterization, and novel monitoring data acquisition technique.
