Paper
Dynamic in-situ imaging of methane hydrate formation and self-preservation
2019
Overview
We present the results of dynamic in-situ 3D X-ray imaging of methane hydrates microstructure during methane hydrate formation and decomposition in sand samples. Short scanning times and high resolution provided by synchrotron X-rays allowed for better understanding of water movement and different types of gas-hydrate formation. Complementing previous observations, we conclude that the process of gas-hydrate formation is accompanied by the water movements caused by cryogenic water suction that happens in short sequences with longer equilibrium states in between (when the water is immobile). Based on the 3D microstructure we identified two types of gas-hydrate formation: (i) into the gas pockets and (ii) inside water volumes. During the decomposition in the self-preservation mode (pressure drop at negative temperatures) the latter remains more stable compared to the hydrate formed as growing into the gas pocket. This means that the history of the gas-hydrate formation influences its behaviour at the decomposition stage (e.g. gas-hydrate production).
