Methane Recovery From Gas Hydrate By Cool Frack Method
Abstract: Methane in Gas hydrates are the most believed energy source for the future. These are solid crystalline ice with hydrogen bonded water molecules, which traps the guest molecules such as methane, propane, H2S, etc., in its cages. It commonly found in permafrost and deep oceanic sediments and occur in oil and gas pipelines. The extraction of methane from gas hydrates without any geo-hazard and economic efficient is what still a …

Carbon dioxide injection to remove shale gas from sedimentary clayey schists
Abstract: This paper proposes an alternative method to the fracking technique to obtain shale gas, injecting compressed carbon dioxide in the subsoil. The injection of a pressurized gas like carbon dioxide into a porous media provokes the removal of existing gas into the pores, provided the pressure of the injected gas is high enough. The design of the adequate geotechnical structure makes it possible to inject pressurized carbon dioxide and extract …

Computational Modeling of Fluid Flow through A Fractured Media under Overburden Pressures
Abstract: Computational analyses were conducted to investigate fluid flow characteristics of a real fractured media. Finite element (FE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses were implemented to carry out these computational analyses. The fractured media was exposed to external pressurization to predict permeability and asperity deformation. Furthermore, a series of CFD-FE analyses were also conducted to determine the reduction in permeability of the fractured media under the external pressure. An elastic-plastic …
