TL;DR: In this paper, the energy efficiency of hot brine injection was analyzed in a 2D reactor to evaluate the performance of methane hydrate (MH) dissociation by thermal stimulation, and different influencing factors of EE including geological parameters (MH saturation, intrinsic permeability and initial temperature of the reservoir) as well as thermal stimulation parameters (brine temperature, brine intake rate, and brine concentration and the amount of injected heat) were studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for controlling the deposition of metal-containing scales, such as iron silicate scale, from hot, aqueous, geothermal brine or the like, without substantial corrosion of brine handling equipment is described.
Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the deposition of metal-containing scales, such as iron silicate scale, from a hot, aqueous, geothermal brine or the like, without substantial corrosion of brine handling equipment The brine is contacted with (1) an amount of an acid sufficient to reduce the pH of the brine between 01 and 05 unit and (2) a greater than stoichiometric amount of a reducing agent for reducing trivalent iron and manganese cations in a high temperature brine solution to divalent ions An overall decrease in scale deposition, especially of iron silicate scale, is achieved while a silver-rich scale can be recovered from silver-containing brines
