The Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS, 117.8L pressure vessel) is used to study the methane hydrate dissociation with dual horizontal wells using both the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and the steam assisted anti-gravity drainage (SAAD) methods. This study is the first time to propose...

A 117.8L three-dimensional pressure vessel is used to study the methane hydrate dissociation with the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) method. It is called the Pilot-Scale Hydrate Simulator (PHS). This study proposes the evaluation and the comparisons of the gas production performance by...

The gas production behavior from methane hydrate in the sediment by depressurization was investigated in a novel pilot-scale hydrate simulator (PHS), a three-dimensional pressure vessel of 117.8L. Experimental results are compared with those in a cubic hydrate simulator (CHS) with the effective...
