Gas Injection into Porous Reservoir Partly Saturated by Water

Abstract:

Specific features of formation of gas hydrates due to injection of a gas into a porous medium initially filled by a gas and water are considered. Self-similar solutions to the planar one-dimensional problem are constructed, which give the distribution of main bed characteristics. The influence of the initial parameters of the porous medium and the intensity of the gas injection on the dynamics of the processes of hydrate formation is studied. The existence of solutions is demonstrated, which predict gas hydrate formation both on the frontal surface and in the volume zone. The critical conditions that separate the different modes of hydrate formation are found.
