THERMAL PROPERTIES OF METHANE HYDRATE BY EXPERIMENT AND MODELING AND IMPACTS UPON TECHNOLOGY Warzinski, Robert P.; Gamwo, Isaac K.; Rosenbaum, Eilis J.; Myshakin, Evgeniy M.; Jiang, Hao; Jordan, Kenneth D.; English, Niall J.; Shaw, David W.
Abstract
Thermal properties of pure methane hydrate, under conditions similar to naturally occurring hydrate-bearing sediments being considered for potential production, have been determined both by a new experimental technique and by advanced molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). A novel single-sided, Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique has been developed and used to measure thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity values of low-porosity methane hydrate formed in the laboratory. The experimental thermal conductivity data are closely matched by results from an equilibrium MDS method using in-plane polarization of the water molecules. MDS was also performed using a non-equilibrium model with a fully polarizable force field for water. The calculated thermal conductivity values from this latter approach were similar to the experimental data. The impact of thermal conductivity on gas production from a hydrate-bearing reservoir was also evaluated using the Tough+/Hydrate reservoir simulator (Revised version of ICGH paper 5646).

Thermal properties of pure methane hydrate, under conditions similar to naturally occurring
hydrate-bearing sediments being considered for potential production, have been determined both
by a new experimental technique and by advanced molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). A
novel single-sided, Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique has been developed and used to
measure thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity values of low-porosity methane hydrate
formed in the laboratory. The experimental thermal conductivity data are closely matched by
results from an equilibrium MDS method using in-plane polarization of the water molecules.
MDS was also performed using a non-equilibrium model with a fully polarizable force field for
water. The calculated thermal conductivity values from this latter approach were similar to the
experimental data. The impact of thermal conductivity on gas production from a hydrate-bearing
reservoir was also evaluated using the Tough+/Hydrate reservoir simulator (Revised version of ICGH paper 5646).
