The determining factor of hydrate dissociation rate in the sediments with different water saturations
In nature, gas hydrate is mainly distributed in permafrost region and deep ocean sediments. For these two types of hydrate reservoirs, water contents in the sediments were different. The water content has a large influence on the characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow in the sediments, ther...

In nature, gas hydrate is mainly distributed in permafrost region and deep ocean sediments. For these two types of hydrate reservoirs, water contents in the sediments were different.

The experimental results showed that, in the depressurization stage (DS), the rate of pressure dropping and the amount of hydrate reformation increased with the raise of the water saturation in the sediments. In the constant pressure stage (CPS), although the heat conduction rate of the sediments increased with the increase of the water saturation, the mass transport rate of the gas released from hydrate dissociation was limited due to the increase of water saturation. As a result, the hydrate dissociation rate decreased with the increase of the water saturation in the sediments.
