TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of methane hydrates by the excess water method in a small reactor filled with a sandy porous medium is analyzed numerically, and it is shown that the hydration reaction is a kinetic (as opposed to an equilibrium) process, and the spatial distributions of the various phases (aqueous, gas and hydrate) at the end of the formation process are strongly heterogeneous.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the TOUGH+HYDRATE code to assess the production potential of some particularly challenging hydrate deposits, i.e., deposits that are characterized by any combination of the following factors: absence of confining boundaries, high thermodynamic stability, low temperatures, low formation permeability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the geomechanical stability of hydrate-bearing sediments in the presence of warm fluids from deeper conventional reservoirs ascending to the ocean floor through uninsulated pipes.

TL;DR: In this article, a huff-and-puff method is used to produce gas from the hydrate accumulation in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea, which is one of the most promising fields for gas hydrate exploitation.
