Abstract
The International Workshop on Methane Hydrate (MH) Research and Development (the Fiery Ice Workshop) began in 2001 with the goal of promoting laboratory and field research collaborations and providing a forum to share new knowledge on MH pertaining to coastal stability, climate change, and energy. Ten workshops have been held over the past 15 years in different countries. Each workshop has included presentations on national programs and policy areas, and new research, along with breakout sessions that focused on current key topics. Two or three concurrent breakout sessions were conducted twice during each workshop. In this paper, we review the breakout sessions on hydrate fundamental properties with the goal of identifying the major accomplishments and changes in hydrate science and engineering related to determining fundamental MH properties over the past 15 years.
Highlights
Breakout sessions of the Fiery Ice Workshop are unique in that workshop attendees from diverse backgrounds, such as academics, representatives from industry, and policy makers, assemble according to their interests to discuss and debate the state-of-the-art, challenges, and/or the future plans for specific topics
We review the breakout sessions on fundamental properties of gas hydrates over the past ten workshops to document accomplishments and changes in research interests over this period
Problems with knowledge and/or scale gaps that exist between laboratory experiments and field studies; Quantitative comparisons of laboratory data obtained by different laboratories and their evaluation methods to construct a database; and Formulation of kinetic properties of gas hydrates to link with modeling
Summary
Breakout sessions of the Fiery Ice Workshop are unique in that workshop attendees from diverse backgrounds, such as academics, representatives from industry, and policy makers, assemble according to their interests to discuss and debate the state-of-the-art, challenges, and/or the future plans for specific topics. Five to six areas are usually discussed in the breakout sessions at each workshop. The chairpersons (i.e., the session Chair and Rapporteur) are selected from attendees of the workshop to lead and moderate the discussions. We review the breakout sessions on fundamental properties of gas hydrates over the past ten workshops to document accomplishments and changes in research interests over this period. More than one session was designated to discuss hydrate fundamental properties. At the latest Fiery Ice Workshop in 2016, we discussed the 15 years of progress and future directions in this area
