"The Influence of Confining Stresses on Formation Kinetics of Methane G" by Shashika Gajanayake, Ranjith Pathegama Gamage et al.
Unconventional natural gas extraction has undergone rapid progress in recent years as an emerging energy source, and the amount of methane gas stored in gas hydrates is estimated to be larger than that of all other natural gas resources combined. In the process of finding suitable hydrate reservoirs for possible exploitation and other applications, it is vital to understand the effect of reservoir conditions on the formation kinetics of methane gas hydrates. The aim of this study is to investigate hydrate formation characteristics in a porous medium under different confining conditions, focusi...
