Abstract
Despite some international experience in gas production from gas hydrate deposits, mining companies are faced with a number of issues that have not been resolved so far. Among these issues, the particularly complex ones are technological problems and environmental efficiency. In the present article, there is a substantiation of the need to consider the particular structure of primary (marine) and secondary (land) gas hydrate deposits while choosing the method of extracting gas from them.The analysis of the practical experience of extracting gas from gas hydrate deposits has proved that one of the most effective methods of ecological production of methane from marine gas hydrate deposits might be the method of substitution. The method of decompression (reduced pressure) is the most effective one for development of secondary (land) deposits.The suggested method of technological planes has helped estimate the effectiveness of using hydrate substitutes such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. This method has proved a certain advantage of hydrogen sulphide over carbon dioxide due to a larger conventional area of the technological plane and, therefore, a safer range of values of the technological parameters of gas extraction.The obtained results can be used in implementing the technology of gas extraction from hydrate deposits, especially in applying the substitution method to developing offshore deposits.
Highlights
The issue of gas hydrates, both industrial and natural, has been the object of thousands of studies by highly skilled professionals in many countries [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
Extraction of organic gases such as methane, ethane, propane and butane, from marine gas hydrate deposits is of great interest in the world, but it can have unwanted consequences
The process during which natural gas hydrates are formed is divided into two stages: a primary one, which refers to the formation of gas hydrates from water and natural gas, and a secondary one, which coincides with gas migration and deposit reformation through multiple changing temperature conditions in the geological history of the Earth [1]
Summary
The issue of gas hydrates, both industrial and natural, has been the object of thousands of studies by highly skilled professionals in many countries [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. The process during which natural gas hydrates are formed is divided into two stages: a primary one, which refers to the formation of gas hydrates from water and natural gas, and a secondary one, which coincides with gas migration and deposit reformation through multiple changing temperature conditions in the geological history of the Earth [1]. It is not clear, what geological and physical properties are contained in these clusters, how they are formed, or how they are distributed. The relevance of this study is based on the fact that through researching the conditions of hydrate formation and destruction of hydrates it is necessary to determine the possibility of controlling the processes of hydrates destruction while extracting gas by replacing methane with another generated gas hydrate
