Methane hydrate dissociation using inverted five-spot water flooding method in cubic hydrate simulator
The combination forms of the hydrate dissociation methods in different well systems are divided into 6 main patterns. Dissociation processes of methane hydrate in porous media using the inverted five-spot water flooding method (Pattern 4) are investigated by the experimental observation and numerica...
