"Large quantities of natural gas hydrate are present in marine sediments along the coastlines of\nmany countries as well as in arctic regions. This research is aimed at assessing production of\nnatural gas from the marine deposits. We had developed a multiphase, multicomponent, thermal,\n3D simulator in the past, which can simulate production of hydrates both in equilibrium and\nkinetic modes. Four components (hydrate, methane, water and salt) and five phases (hydrate, gas,\naqueous-phase, ice and salt precipitate) are considered in the simulator. In this work, we simulate\ndepressurization and warm water flooding for hydrate production in a hydrate reservoir underlain\nby a water layer. Water flooding has been studied as a function of injection temperature, injection\npressure and production pressure. For high injection temperature, the higher pressure increases the\nflow of warm water (heat) in the reservoir making the production rate faster, but if injection\ntemperature is not high then only depressurization is the best method of production. At\nintermediate injection temperature, the production rate changes non-monotonically with the\ninjection pressure."@en
