Experimental investigation into scaling models of methane hydrate reservoir
The Cubic Hydrate Simulator (CHS), a three-dimensional 5.8L cubic pressure vessel, and the Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS), a three-dimensional 117.8L pressure vessel, are used for investigating the production processes of hydrate. The gas production behaviors of methane hydrate in the porous me...
