Gas hydrate production using geonatural factors

The study focuses on practicable methods of gas hydrate reservoir engineering. The gas hydrate reservoir stimulation methods are systematized. The problems related with different gas hydrate reservoir stimulation methods are reviewed. The efficiency of heat from thermal water from underlying levels of gas hydrate reservoirs in dissociation of gas hydrates is proved. It is proposed to use a downhole pump assembly with simultaneous separation of gas–liquid mixture in boreholes for gas hydrate production with elimination of the listed problems.

Keywords: gas hydrates, dissociation, hydrodynamic research, gas production technology, downhole pump assembly, separation.
