Simulating Thermal Interaction of Gas Production Wells with Relict Gas Hydrate-Bearing Permafrost

Simulating Thermal Interaction of Gas Production Wells with Relict Gas Hydrate-Bearing Permafrost

The thermal interaction of a gas production well with ice-rich permafrost that bears relict gas hydrates is simulated in Ansys Fluent using the enthalpy formulation of the Stefan problem. The model admits phase changes of pore ice and hydrate (ice melting and gas hydrate dissociation) upon permafros...
