Mathematical model of formation of carbon dioxide hydrate upon injection of carbon dioxide into a methane hydrate stratum

Resumo

A mathematical model of formation of carbon dioxide gas hydrate upon injection of warm carbon dioxide into a natural stratum saturated with methane and methane hydrate has been presented. The case when methane hydrate decomposes into gas and water on two frontal boundaries and the subsequent formation of carbon dioxide hydrate from carbon dioxide and water has been discussed. The regions where this mode is implemented depending on stratum permeability have been studied based on the pressure–temperature plane of the gas being injected into the stratum.
