Session ID#: 57539

Session Description:
Gas hydrates are widely distributed along the world’s continental margins and in permafrost regions. Natural gas hydrate is of great interest for its potential role in the global carbon cycle and climate change, in submarine slope stability, as a drilling hazard, and as a potential energy resource and in many other industry applications. All of these processes are highly coupled to hydrate formation and dissociation, which is a sophisticated process involving many fundamental phenomena. These phenomena include gas generation (biogenic or thermogenic); macro-scale fluid flow, bubble migration and gas transport; micro-scale hydrate nucleation, growth and dissociation; and hydraulic, petrophysical, biogeochemical and geomechanical changes in sediments over time. Modeling efforts spanning the nano-scale, pore-scale, reservoir-scale and basin-scale provide indispensable tools for better understanding these fundamental processes. We welcome any type of modeling studies, from various perspectives and spanning different spatial or time scales, which illuminate these fundamental processes in hydrate systems.
