TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the gas production behavior from methane hydrate in the sediment by depressurization in a novel pilot-scale hydrate simulator (PHS), a three-dimensional pressure vessel of 117.8 l.

TL;DR: Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS) as mentioned in this paper was developed to investigate the gas production from methane hydrate in porous media using the huff and puff method, and the experimental results indicate that with the constant hot water injection rate, the range of the thermal diffusion is restricted around the well, and depressurization rather than thermal stimulation is dominant for gas production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed the huff and puff method using a single horizontal well in the middle of the Hydrate-Bearing Layer (HBL) to numerically investigate the gas production potential from hydrates at the DK-3 drilling site of the Qilian Mountain permafrost, which is located in the north of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS, 117.8 L pressure vessel) to evaluate the performance of the steam assisted gravity drainage and steam assisted anti-gravity drainage (SAAD) methods.

TL;DR: In this article, a pilot-scale hydrate simulator was used to evaluate the performance of the sagd method on the methane hydrate reservoir with different steam injection rates, showing that the gas production rate increases with the steam injection rate, while the energy efficiency ratio (eer) and gas-to-water ratios are improved by the decrease of the steam injected rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review various studies on resource potential of natural gas hydrate, the current research progress in laboratory settings, and several recent field trials, and discuss possible limitation in each production method and the challenges to be addressed for large scale production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively review the relevant studies of natural gas hydrates and propose their comments, discuss the limitations and challenges, raise some questions and put forward some suggestions from their points of view.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview on the characteristics of LNG, present state of affairs, its import from overseas, CNG vs. LNG as an automobile fuel, eco-friendliness of natural gas fuel, etc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an account on the research efforts put forth in solidified natural gas (SNG) technology, which has remarkable potential to store multi-fold volumes of natural gas in compact hydrate crystals offering the safest and the most environmental friendly mode of NG storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review comprehensively summarizes the state of the art experimental work conducted on the storage of hydrogen as hydrogen clathrates both at the molecular level and macroscopic level and identifies future directions and challenges for this exciting area of research.
