Methane hydrate- the future saviour of energyNIT Jamshedpur
Methane hydrates represent a potential future energy resource. They contain an estimated 53% of all fossil fuel reserves on Earth in the form of methane gas trapped within crystalline structures of water under high pressure and low temperatures. While abundant in marine and Arctic sediments, recovering the methane requires techniques unlike conventional gas extraction due to methane hydrates' solid structure. Methods under investigation include thermal injection to raise temperatures above the dissociation point, depressurization to convert hydrates to gas and water, and slurry mining. Tapping this vast resource could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to other fossil fuels if recovered safely without releasing methane into the atmosphere.
This document provides an overview of methane hydrates. It discusses the structure and classification of methane hydrates, and describes their sources and reserves found in India. The document outlines current plans in India to explore and develop methane hydrate resources through organizations like NGHP and NIO. It also discusses challenges with extraction methods like depressurization and heat injection. The potential benefits of methane hydrates are their high methane concentration and potential as an energy source.
Gas hydrates are solid mixtures of natural gas and water that form under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. They contain methane trapped within a crystalline structure of water and occur in ocean sediments and polar regions. If tapped, gas hydrates could become a substantial future energy resource, as the worldwide volume of methane trapped in hydrates is estimated to be at least twice that of all other fossil fuels combined. However, current production techniques for recovering methane from hydrates have limitations. The document proposes an alternative technique using microwave heating and fluorine injection to promote chemical reactions that convert the methane for easier extraction. While challenges remain, gas hydrates represent an enormous source of natural gas if technical and economic hurdles to their exploitation can be overcome
Natural gas hydrates are solids formed by the combination of water and gases, which may be hydrocarbons or not. It has the appearance of snow or dry ice and crystallizes in the form of nodules, layers or within faults and in the porous space of marine sediments. They are distributed along the continental margins around the world or in permafrost zones, located in the polar circles. Hydrates originate through the movement of gaseous molecules during migration within the sedimentary column or in the water, through an exothermic reaction that freezes the water immediately surrounding each gas molecule. This molecule, usually methane, is then trapped within a crystalline structure composed of a trap of water molecules. For this reason, hydrates are also known as methane clathrates. However, other natural components such as ethane, propane and carbon dioxide can be observed in this form. The maximum temperature for this structure to be stable depends on the combination of temperature and pressure in the gas hydrate stability zone and, secondarily, on the composition of the gas and the salinity of the water contained in the pores of marine sediment. Methane, trapped as a hydrate, may be biogenic or thermogenic. Experimental studies indicate that 1 m3 of methane hydrate, dissociated under pressure and atmospheric temperature, releases 164 m3 of natural methane, in addition to 0.8 m3 of fresh water. For this reason, estimates of the amount of natural gas contained in hydrates far exceed the known reserves of natural gas in the world, ranging from 105 trillion cubic feet (TCF) to more than 3x109 TCF. The volume of carbon contained in this form is estimated to be twice the total amount of all the earth's fossil organic carbon, including oil, gas, and coal. Gas hydrates have been attracting interest as a potential energy resource, in addition to being considered as a possible cause of greenhouse effect and of instability of marine slopes. However, little is known about the factors controlling the formation and stability of hydrates on the marine seafloor, although significant advances have been achieved thanks to the continued study of the subject by academies and research institutions. The interaction between gas hydrates dissociation and methane plumes at the seawater column is a natural phenomenon that modifies seafloor scenario, transforming the landscape by the precipitation of carbonates and pyrite on the shallow sedimentary pores, resulting in nucleous of hardgrounds for living benthic organisms, known as chemosynthetic communities. For this reason, methane seeps related with gas hydrates dissociation creates a micro environment for living species, important for the marine ecosystem. This is an open and exciting study field for geologists, geochemical researchers and biologists.

Future Scope
Gas hydrate is an icy substance formed from water and gas that exists in ocean sediments under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. Global estimates suggest there are 3,000 to 5,000 trillion cubic meters of natural gas trapped in gas hydrate deposits worldwide. There are several methods for recovering natural gas from gas hydrates, including thermal stimulation, depressurization, inhibitor injection, and carbon dioxide injection. The carbon dioxide injection method involves exchanging carbon dioxide for methane as the guest molecule trapped within the gas hydrate crystalline structure. This process is exothermic and provides heat to further dissociate methane hydrates while sequestering the injected carbon dioxide, maintaining formation stability, and offering an environmentally friendly solution.

Hydrates are ice-like crystalline structures that form under high pressure and low temperatures and contain a gas, such as methane, trapped within a lattice of water molecules. They are found in marine sediments along continental margins and in permafrost regions. There are two main hydrate structures that differ in the arrangement of cavities containing the trapped gas. Hydrates are a potential future energy resource and also impact sea floor stability and global climate change through methane release. Study of hydrates at Hydrate Ridge off the Oregon coast provides insights into their occurrence, identification, and natural resource potential.

The document discusses hydrocarbon flow assurance issues in oil and gas production and transportation. It covers several topics:
1. Flow assurance issues like gas hydrates and wax deposition present challenges for production and pipelines in cold environments. Hydrates can plug pipelines while wax can deposit and reduce flow.
2. The document outlines various experimental setups and procedures to study hydrate and wax kinetics and thermodynamics using reactors. It examines inhibitors for addressing hydrate plugging in pipelines and production.
3. Recovery of gas from hydrate reservoirs is discussed through depressurization and injection of polymers or surfactants to improve recovery rates. The document presents results on methane recovery from artificial hydrate systems.
Gas hydrates are cage-like structures of water molecules surrounding molecules of gas, primarily methane. They form under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. It is estimated that up to 270 million trillion cubic feet of natural gas could exist trapped in gas hydrate deposits globally. There are several methods for producing natural gas from hydrates, including depressurization, thermal stimulation, and chemical inhibition. Significant challenges remain regarding the economic and environmentally-safe production of gas from hydrate deposits.
This document discusses new frontiers in energy resources. It begins by noting that global oil production is peaking and will decline in the coming decades. It then outlines several emerging energy sources that could help address this, including gas hydrates, virtual water trade, wave energy, energy from pollution and algae. Gas hydrates are methane trapped in ice under high pressure that could be a substantial energy source. Virtual water trade refers to the hidden water used in food production and trade. Wave energy captures energy from ocean waves. Technologies are being developed to generate electricity from pollution and algae. In conclusion, renewable sources can extend oil reserves but a new, abundant energy source on par with fossil fuels is still needed.

To prepare natural gas for sale, its undesirable components (water, H2S and CO2) must be removed. Most natural gas contains substantial amounts of water vapor due to the presence of connate water in the reservoir rock. At reservoir pressure and temperature, gas is saturated with water vapor
1. Gas hydrates are crystalline structures of water and natural gas like methane found in ocean sediments and arctic permafrost that could potentially be exploited as an energy source for India.
2. Technologies for exploration include using seismic reflections to detect the bottom of the gas hydrate stability zone, while exploitation methods include depressurization, thermal stimulation, and carbon dioxide substitution.
3. India has conducted research expeditions in the Eastern Coast and Andaman Sea that discovered significant gas hydrate deposits, but challenges remain around economic viability and understanding the environmental impacts of large-scale production.
Gas hydrates are ice-like solids formed when gas molecules like methane are trapped within molecular cages of water molecules under certain pressures and temperatures. They commonly form on the seafloor below 500 meters. Formation can also occur in pipelines and wells under static conditions if the temperature and pressure allow. Common methods to control hydrate formation include heating, decreasing pressure, dehydration, inhibition using chemicals like methanol or salts, or using kinetic inhibitors to delay formation. Thermodynamic inhibitors shift the hydrate formation curve to lower temperatures.
Natural gas hydrates contain large quantities of methane trapped within ice crystal structures. Exploring and producing natural gas hydrates faces challenges related to their compact structure, formation factors, and location within stability zones. Initial production tests at the Mallik gas field involved depressurization and achieved flow rates up to 160 Mcf/day with minimal water production, demonstrating the potential for natural gas hydrate production but also issues like sand ingress. Replacing methane with carbon dioxide offers an alternative production method due to CO2's more favorable thermodynamic properties and easier distribution within the hydrate crystal structure.

Gas hydrates Anomalies and IdentificationsRakesh Pandey
This document provides an overview of gas hydrates, including their significance as an energy source, historical discoveries, identification methods, and exploitation techniques. It specifically examines gas hydrate occurrences in the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone, using the Krishna-Godavari Basin as a case study. Seismic data from the basin shows distinct bottom-simulating reflectors indicative of gas hydrates. While gas hydrates represent a potentially large energy resource, challenges to their safe and economic production include modeling their physical behavior, transporting the gas, and maintaining well stability during hydrate dissociation.
This document reviews recent advances in using gas hydrates to capture carbon dioxide (CO2). It discusses how chemical additives and mechanical methods have been investigated to improve the efficiency of hydrate-based CO2 capture (HBCC) technology. Chemical additives like tetrahydrofuran and surfactants can act as promoters, reducing the pressure and time needed to form CO2 hydrates and increasing CO2 uptake. Mechanical methods aim to enhance gas-water contact and mass transfer. The review evaluates how these approaches impact important parameters like gas consumption, hydrate formation rates, and CO2 recovery and separation from gas mixtures. It also considers the limitations and challenges of HBCC compared to conventional CO2 capture technologies.
The document discusses three challenges related to producing gas from hydrate reservoirs: (1) temperature control as gas production can cause cooling that may lead to hydrate formation near the wellbore; (2) sand control as hydrate reservoirs in unconsolidated sediments can cause issues and the only production test showed this was important; and (3) water control as hydrate production will result in large amounts of water that needs to be disposed of.
This document discusses the constituents and origins of natural gas found in sedimentary basins. Natural gas is primarily composed of methane but can also contain ethane, propane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and nitrogen. Gas is formed through both organic processes like hydrocarbon generation during diagenesis and catagenesis, as well as inorganic processes like magmatic activity and radioactivity. The distribution of gas in sedimentary basins depends on the sources and migration patterns of the different gas constituents. Characterization of natural gas involves analyzing the ratios of methane to other hydrocarbons and carbon and hydrogen isotope compositions to determine the gas's origin.

1) Interference is a major limiting factor for cellular radio system capacity. It is caused by mobile stations, neighboring cells using the same or adjacent frequencies, and non-cellular signals.
2) There are two main types of interference: co-channel interference which occurs between cells using the same frequencies, and adjacent channel interference which occurs between frequencies that are adjacent.
3) Co-channel interference can be reduced by increasing the channel reuse ratio, which is the ratio between the distance of co-channel cells and the cell radius. However, this reduces system capacity. Managing interference is needed to balance capacity and quality.

Gas hydrates are crystalline compounds formed when water molecules combine with low molecular weight gases like methane under high pressure and low temperature conditions. They are found naturally in ocean sediments and beneath permafrost. Gas hydrate deposits represent a potentially huge energy resource, containing twice as much carbon as all other fossil fuels combined. However, decomposition of hydrates could also release the potent greenhouse gas methane. Extensive research is being conducted to better understand gas hydrate formation and properties in order to evaluate their potential as an energy source and address flow assurance issues in pipelines transporting natural gas.

Natural gas exploration and development in indiaAkshaya Mishra
The document discusses India's natural gas infrastructure vision for 2030. It notes that India's natural gas demand is expected to grow significantly due to increasing consumption and a shift away from oil. The share of natural gas in India's energy mix is projected to increase to 20% by 2025 from 11% in 2010. To meet this growing demand, the total natural gas supply is expected to reach 400 MMSCMD by 2021-22 and 474 MMSCMD by 2029-30. The vision calls for developing a national gas grid by 2030 consisting of over 31,000 km of pipelines with a capacity of 782 MMSCMD to ensure adequate transportation infrastructure. Key recommendations include providing infrastructure status to gas pipelines, exploring strategic
CFD Analysis on Forced Convection Heat Transfer of KNO3–Ca NO3 2 TiO2 Molten ...YogeshIJTSRD
Nanotechnology has been a global movement in recent decades. The possibility of manipulating atomic and molecular materials has resulted in previously unimaginable properties and characteristics. The molten salt nanofluid created by integrating nanoparticles into molten salt has a much higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity than the base molten salt, resulting in a higher heat storage density and lower heat storage cost than the base molten salt. Since the discovery of molten salt nanofluids excellent thermal properties, the heat transfer of molten salt nanofluid has piqued engineers curiosity. In this analysis, the forced convection heat transfer of KNO3–Ca NO3 2 TiO2 molten salt nanofluid in circular tube was investigated using a 3 dimensional numerical 3 D simulation. The simulation programme ANSYS 17.0 was used for study of the heat transfer physiognomies of a KNO3–Ca NO3 2 TiO2 molten salt nanofluid in circular tube. The effect of nanofluid were measured and observed to influence the heat transfer and flow of fluids in a heat exchanger. The following conclusions can be drawn based on the provided results The KNO3–Ca NO3 2 TiO2 molten salt nanofluid performed slightly better in forced convection heat transfer than the KNO3–Ca NO3 2 SiO2 molten salt nanofluid under the same working conditions. KNO3–Ca NO3 2 TiO2 molten salt nanofluid had a 14.79 percent higher Nusselt number than KNO3–Ca NO3 2 SiO2 molten salt nanofluid.

ENHANCEMENT OF THERMAL EFFICIENCY OF NANOFLUID FLOWS IN A FLAT SOLAR COLLECTO...Barhm Mohamad
Flat plate solar collector (FPSC) is popular for their low cost, simplicity, and ease of installation and operation. In this work, FPSC thermal performance was analyzed. It's compared to diamond/H2O nanofluids. The volume percentage and kind of nanoparticles are analyzed numerically that validation with experimental data available in the literature. The hot climate of Iraq is employed to approximate the model. The numerical study is performed by using ANSYS/FLUENT software to simulate the case study of problem. Due to less solar intensity after midday, temperatures reduction. The greatest collector thermal efficiency is 68.90% with 1% ND/water nanofluid, a 12.2% increase over pure water. The efficiency of 1% nanofluid is better than other concentrations because of a change in physical properties and an increase in thermal conductivity. Since the intensity of radiation affects the outlet temperature from the solar collector and there is a direct link between them, this increases the efficiency of the solar collector, especially around 12:30 pm at the optimum efficiency.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

4. What is methane hydrate
molecule?
When gas molecules are trapped in a lattice of water
molecules at temperature above zero degree celsius
and pressures above 1 atmosphere, they can form
stable solid. These solids are methane hydrates.
Sources of methane hydrate :-
Methane exist in the sea floor and arctic permafrost.
Uses:-
Methane hydrate is frozen natural gas and it is
currently estimated that there are far more energy
trapped in methane hydrate deposit than in all
known reserves of oil , gas and coal .
5. Forms a structure of hydrate with
two dodecahedral[12 vertices, thus
12 water molecules] and 6 tetra-
-decahedral[14 water molecules]
water cages per unit cell
A crystalline solid which consist of
methane molecule surrounded by a
cage of water molecules.
Stabilised by the gas molecule
with the cage of water molecules.
Formula:-
[4CH4.23H2O] OR
(CH4)8(H2O)46
6. Class 1:-
Hydrate-bearing layer +underlying 2- phase
layer of mobile gas and water
This type of hydrate is considered as the most
promising layer.
Class 2:-
Hydrate bearing layer + free water
Pressure depletion is small comparatively
Class 3:-
Absence of an underlying zone of mobile fluids
The whole hydrate-bearing layer is in P-T
balance stability region. Therefore, the gas
production layer is slow during the exploitation
process.

10. EXTRACTION
There are different methods of
extraction of methane hydrate :-
1. Depressurization method
hydrate dissociates with pressure
Process is endothermic,
absorbing energy and reducing
reservoir temperature; process
requires heat flow into reservoir
from surrounding rock
2. Heat injection method
Hydrate dissociates with temperature
Net energy balance in the closed
system and in a high quality hydrate
reservoir is positive
11. 3. Inhibitor injection method
Inhibits lower hydrate formation temperature and
dissociates hydrates on contacted surfaces.
12. There are problems with present day techniques
to extract it :-
Thermal injection:-Unavoidable heat losses
due to host rock , economical infeasibility
Depressurization:- endothermic nature
causing decrease in reservoir temperature.
13. Inhibitors:- methanol and ethylene glycol are
expensive chemicals
Drilling for recovery of methane from the hydrate is
a challenging task because of the characteristics of the
hydrates especially, its unstable nature with change in
pressure, temperature conditions.
