Abstract

Gas permeability of gas hydrate sediment is decisive factor that determines the rate of gas production during hydrate exploitation process. In site exploration indicates that hydrates are abundantly present in fractures of the reservoir, and the fractures provide convenient conditions for migration of fluids during the hydrate exploitation process. In this study, gas permeability evolution during triaxial shear process of fractured hydrate-bearing sediments was measured. The experimental results show that gas permeability damage of fractured hydrate-bearing sediment is affected by effective confining pressure. And as axial strain increases during shearing, gas permeability of fractured hydrate-bearing sediment generally presents a pattern of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing again due to changes in fracture structure. And with increase of hydrate saturation, initial gas permeability, the peak permeability at rise and the minimum permeability at decline all increase. The conclusion of this study provides a data base for prediction of hydrate recovery efficiency of fractured hydrate sediments.
