Gas hydrates are considered as a promising energy source and the Black Sea has a high potential of gas hydrates. The Danube Delta of the Black Sea is the most well-known prospect in the Black Sea after many geological and geophysical studies such as bottom-simulation reflectors (BSR) and electromagnetic surveys. In this study, gas production simulations from two gas hydrate layers (6 m thick hydrate layer at 60 mbsf and 30 m-thick hydrate layer at 140 mbsf above BSR at 350 mbsf) at the same locations with approximately 50% hydrate saturation in the Danube Fan of the Black Sea were run with depressurization method separately at 2 MPa, 3 MPa, 4 MPa, 5 MPa, and 6 MPa by using HydrateResSim numerical simulators. Moreover, different production tests strategies were suggested in this region.

Numerical simulations of gas production from Class 1 hydrate and Class 3 hydrate in the Nile Delta of the Mediterranean Sea MEREY, ŞÜKRÜ; Longinos, Sotirios Nik (Elsevier BV, 2018-04-01) Gas hydrate reservoirs are considered as near-future energy resources in the world. As well as the many places in the world, there is also gas hydrate potential in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, by using the literature data, it was aimed to understand whether the Mediterranean Sea includes necessary parameters for producible gas hydrate reservoirs. It was shown that the Mediterranean Sea contains all of these parameters (source gas, appropriate pressure and temperature, coarse sand potential, etc.). ...
Kinetic Analysis of Methane Hydrate Formation with Butterfly Turbine Impellers Longinos, Sotirios Nik.; Longinou, Dionisia Dimitra; Myrzakhmetova, Nurbala; Akimbayeva, Nazgul; Zhursumbaeva, Mariamkul; Abdiyev, Kaldibek; Toktarbay, Zhexenbek; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (2022-07-01) Heat generation during gas hydrate formation is an important problem because it reduces the amount of water and gas that become gas hydrates. In this research work, we present a new design of an impeller to be used for hydrate formation and to overcome this concern by following the hydrodynamic literature. CH4 hydrate formation experiments were performed in a 5.7 L continuously stirred tank reactor using a butterfly turbine (BT) impeller with no baffle (NB), full baffle (FB), half baffle (HB), and surface b...
Investigation of gas hydrate potential of the Black Sea and modelling of gas production from a hypothetical Class 1 methane hydrate reservoir in the Black Sea conditions Merey, Sukru; Sınayuç, Çağlar (2016-02-01) Gas hydrate deposits which are found in deep ocean sediments and in permafrost regions are supposed to be a fossil fuel reserve for the future. The Black Sea is also considered rich in terms of gas hydrates. It abundantly contains gas hydrates as methane (CH4 similar to 80-99.9%) source. In this study, by using the literature seismic and other data of the Black Sea such as salinity, porosity of the sediments, common gas type, temperature distribution and pressure gradient, it was estimated that up to 71.8 (...
Experimental set-up design for gas production from the Black Sea gas hydrate reservoirs Merey, Sukru; Sınayuç, Çağlar (2016-07-01) Gas hydrate deposits which are found in deep ocean sediments and in permafrost regions are supposed to be a fossil fuel reserve for the future.

Investigation of gas seepages in Thessaloniki mud volcano in the Mediterranean Sea MEREY, ŞÜKRÜ; Longinos, Sotirios Nik (2018-09-01) Gas seepages are commonly observed in marine environment. Especially, gas seepages due to anthropogenic gas hydrate dissociation are big concerns recently. In the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Thessaloniki mud volcano was detected. Gas hydrate stability conditions in this mud volcano is very fragile. For this reason, in this study, gas seepages were predicted by using HydrateResSim at different seafloor temperature increments varying from 1 to 5 degrees C and different sediment permeability values varying from...
