Gas hydrate deposits are generally found in the shallow deepwater regions where continuous permafrost exists. The presence of water, methane and thermodynamic conditions (low temperature and high pressure) is critical for gas hydrate accumulation. Disturbing thermodynamic conditions such as depressurizing and thermal treatment are the primary processes for gas hydrate dissociation. In this study, we investigate the stability of a shallow depth gas hydrate layer in the conditions of conventional gas production from a newly discovered deep gas field, Sakarya gas field, Western Black Sea. The study focuses on thermal conduction generated by conventional gas production across the wellbore profile along the gas hydrate section. The study includes wellbore simulations using the academic version of PIPESIM to obtain temperature and pressure profiles across the wellbore and numerical simulations for thermal transition for various cases in the hydrate zone using TOUGH + HYDRATE v.1.5 (T + H). The temperature elevation in the hydrate zone was found to change between 19 K and 25 K. The critical temperature elevation for hydrate dissociation and hydrate dissociation front were determined using the simulations, which might cause wellbore stability problems in the long term. We increase the impact of the study by suggesting appropriate solutions to minimize the adverse effects of production from the hot and deep conventional gas on gas hydrate stability found at shallower depths.

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 (...

The Gas Hydrate Potential of the Eastern Mediterranean Basin
MEREY, Şükrü; LONGINOS, Sotirios Nik. (Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2018-12-25)
Gas hydrate exploration studies have increased substantially since last decade. Gas hydrate reservoirs are commonly found in the marine environment and permafrost. Studies related to natural gas hydrates in the Mediterranean Basin are rare compared to those released on the continental margins of the United States of America, Japan, India, China and Korea. This study provides an evaluation of the gas hydrate potential of the Mediterranean Basin using available literature data such as scientific drilling...
The effect of experimental conditions on natural gas hydrate formation
Longinos, Sotirios; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2020)
Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are proposed as gas storage and transportation media owing to their high gas content and long-term stability of hydrate crystal structure at common refrigeration temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Technically feasible, cost efficient hydrate production is one of the crucial items of the whole chain of storage and transportation of gas by means of NGH technology. This study investigated the effects of types of impellers and baffles, and the use of promoters on natural gas hydra...
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.). ...
