Pore-Scale Modeling of Methane Hydrate Dissociation Using a Multiphase Micro-Continuum Framework

Abstract

The development of methane hydrate extraction technology remains constrained due to the limited physical understanding of hydrate dissociation dynamics. While recent breakthroughs in pore-scale visualization techniques offer intuitive insights into the dissociation process, obtaining a profound grasp of the underlying mechanisms necessitates more than mere experimental observations. In this research, we introduce a two-phase micro-continuum model that facilitates the numerical simulation of methane hydrate dissociation at both single- and multiscale levels. We employed this numerical model to simulate microfluidic experiments and determined the kinetic parameters of methane hydrate dissociation based on experimental data under various dissociation scenarios. The simulations, once calibrated, correspond closely to experimental results. By comprehensively comparing the simulated results with experimental data, the rate constant and the effective diffusion coefficient were reliably determined to be kd = 1.5 × 108 kmol2/(J·s·m2) and Dl = 0.8 × 10−7 m2/s, respectively. Notably, the multiscale model not only matches the precision of the single-scale model but also presents considerable promise for streamlining the simulation of hydrate dissociation across multiscale porous media. Moreover, we contrast hydrate dissociation under isothermal versus adiabatic conditions, wherein the dissociation rate is significantly reduced under adiabatic conditions due to the shifted thermodynamic condition. This comparison highlights the disparities between microfluidic experiments and real-world extraction environments.
