Revised inflow performance relationship for productivity prediction and energy evaluation based on stage characteristics of Class III methane hydrate deposits
Productivity prediction and energy evaluation can reduce the economic risk of hydrate development. Meanwhile, the study of conventional resources provides useful reference and guidance. Therefore, this paper aims to establish Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) formulas for the multiphase, non-iso...

Productivity prediction and energy evaluation can reduce the economic risk of hydrate development. Meanwhile, the study of conventional resources provides useful reference and guidance.
