The self-preservation is considered as an advantageous property for natural gas hydrate transportation and storage. However, it may also bring serious troubles for well drilling and hydrate exploitation. In this work, various factors affecting the self-preservation effect of CH4 hydrate were investigated by using HP μ-DSC. The results indicate the presence of porous sediments does not influence the anomalous self-preservation region of CH4 hydrate. The CH4 hydrate dissociation rate increases with the decreased initial water content and quartz sand particle size as a whole. However, the self-preservation could be still found in a very low initial water content (10 vol%) and small-particle sediments (25–38 μm) condition. On the other hand, an enhanced self-preservation effect and excessive pressure phenomenon were unexpectedly found in bentonite and kaolin. The hydrate can still maintain high metastability with hardly any decomposition after the pressure was released to atmospheric pressure.
