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.
