Gas hydrates are considered as a potential strategic energy source for sustainable development. The thermal properties of hydrate-bearing sediments govern the hydrate dissociation behavior and gas production process that accompany phase transformation and multiphase flow. This paper presents a...

In November 2008, gas hydrate samples were recovered during the scientific gas hydrate drilling project conducted in the Qilian Mountain permafrost located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. This region is expected to become a strategic gas hydrate exploitation area in China. Based on the gas...
