Experimental study on gas production from methane hydrate in porous media by SAGD method
A 117.8L three-dimensional pressure vessel is used to study the methane hydrate dissociation with the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) method. It is called the Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS). This study proposes the evaluation and the comparisons of the gas production performance by SAGD...
