Abstract
A general-purpose simulator for gas production from hydrates is developed, which considers kinetics of dissociation, heat, and multiphase fluid flow. Production behavior of the Class I hydrate reservoir by depressurization technique is studied. The results suggest gas production rate at the well is higher than gas release rate in the reservoir and most water released is left in pores. With continuous dissociation of hydrate, average hydrate saturation, reservoir temperature, and pressure decrease continuously. In addition, the closer to gas layer, the faster the hydrate dissociation. Results of gas production simulations can provide theoretical basis for the development of hydrates in the future.
