Abstract Natural gas hydrate is mainly enriched in the low temperature and high pressure environment such as the extremely cold permafrost zone and the polar continental shelf, which is a renewable energy with great development value. The analysis of the adhesion mechanical properties of gas hydrate on the surface of rock and mineral is of great significance for the correct evaluation and effective control of the influence of gas hydrate on sedimentary layers. In this paper, an experimental device for visualizing the adhesion of hydrate wall under atmospheric pressure was built to directly test the adhesion strength of hydrate on the rock wall. The influence mechanism of the microstructure of rock wall and the types of rock minerals on the adhesion strength of hydrate was studied. It was found that the adhesion strength of hydrate on the sandstone wall was greater than that of carbonate rock salt. The higher the surface roughness of rock and mineral, the higher the adhesion strength of hydrate.

AbstractNatural gas hydrate (NGH) has been widely considered as an alternative to conventional oil and gas resources in the future energy resource supply since Trofimuk’s first resource assessment in 1973. At least 29 global estimates have been published from various studies so far, among which 24 estimates are greater than the total conventional gas resources. If drawn in chronological order, the 29 historical resource estimates show a clear downward trend, reflecting the changes in our perception with respect to its resource potential with increasing our knowledge on the NGH with time. A time series of the 29 estimates was used to establish a statistical model for predict the future trend. The model produces an expected resource value of 41.46 × 1012 m3 at the year of 2050. The statistical trend projected future gas hydrate resource is only about 10% of total natural gas resource in conventional reservoir, consistent with estimates of global technically recoverable resources (TRR) in gas hydrate from Monte Carlo technique based on volumetric and material balance approaches. Considering the technical challenges and high cost in commercial production and the lack of competitive advantages compared with rapid growing unconventional and renewable resources, only those on the very top of the gas hydrate resource pyramid will be added to future energy supply. It is unlikely that the NGH will be the major energy source in the future.
