Numerical Investigation of Depressurization through Horizontal Wells in Methane-Hydrate-Bearing Sediments Considering Sand Production

Sand production has been identified as a key reason limiting sustained and commercial gas production in methane-hydrate-bearing sediments. Production tests in Canada and Japan were terminated partially because of excessive sand production in pilot wells. It is meaningful to carry out numerical inves...
