AbstractNatural gas hydrates are considered to be a strategic unconventional hydrocarbon resource in the Indian energy sector, and thermal stimulation is considered as one of the methods for producing methane from gas hydrate-bearing sediments. This paper discusses the importance of this abundantly available blue economic resource and analyzes the efficiency of methane gas production by circulating hot water in a horizontal well in the fine-grained, clay-rich natural gas hydrate reservoir in the Krishna-Godavari basin of India. Analysis is done using the electrothermal finite element analysis software MagNet-ThermNet and gas hydrate reservoir modeling software TOUGH+HYDRATE with reservoir petrophysical properties as inputs. Energy balance studies indicate that, in the 90% hydrate-saturated reservoir, the theoretical energy conversion ratio is 1:4.9, and for saturations below 20%, the ratio is <1. It is identified that a water flow of 0.2 m3/h at 270°C is required for every 1 m2 of wellhead surface area to dissociate gas hydrates up to a distance of 2.6 m from the well bore within 36 h.

AbstractQuantifying natural gas production risk can help guide natural gas exploration and development in Carboniferous gas reservoirs. In this study, the Monte Carlo probability method is used to obtain the probability distribution and growth curve of each production risk factor and production in a Carboniferous gas reservoir in eastern Sichuan. In addition, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to conduct the sensitivity analysis of the risk factors, and the natural gas production and realization probability under different risk factors are obtained. The research results show that: (1) the risk factor–production growth curve and probability distribution are calculated by the Monte Carlo probability method. The average annual production under the stable production stage under different realization probabilities is obtained. The maximum probability range of annual production is $$\left( {43.43 - 126.35} \right) \times 10^{8} {\text{m}}^{3} /{\text{year}}$$ 43.43 - 126.35 × 10 8 m 3 / year , and the probability range is 14.59–92.88%. (2) The risk factor sensitivity analysis is significantly affected by the probability interval. In the entire probability interval, the more sensitive risk factors are the average production of the kilometer-deep well (D) and the production rate in the stable production stage (A). During the exploration and development of natural gas, these two risk factors can be adjusted to increase production.
