methane hydrates sediments kinetics modelling heat transfer mass transfer International audience In this paper, we give a short presentation of the project ForDiMHyS which consists of experimental studies and model establishment (or development) of the kinetics of FORmation and Dissociation of Methane Hydrates in Sediments. We focus on the details of the experimental set-up which is newly, specially designed for this study in the preliminary step of the project. The four French academic teams and two PhD thesis are involved in the ForDiMHyS project on the period 2000-2004. The financial support is given by the five French Partners. The project consists of two-step programs; firstly the data acquisition from the laboratory experimental set-up and secondly simulation of methane production from methane hydrate fields.
