In this work, different saturated methane hydrates were formed by controlling the methane gas filling pressure on the three-dimensional experimental systems. The hydrates were dissociated using by depressurization and combination method, respectively. The results indicated that, as the saturation enhancing, the gas production was enlarged, however, the gas production rate became extremely volatile, and the decomposition cycle increased. Furthermore, compared with single depressurization, the combination method has the high gas production rate and efficiency, and the short decomposition cycle. So the combination method is worthy for further study of the gas hydrate exploitation.

According to analysis of the gas hydrate cage and structure of the inhibitor and simulation of molecular dynamics, the interaction between GHI1 and hydrates was discussed. The structure analysis indicated the side group of PVP can insert into the open hydrate cage, and force the hydrate growing along the polymer chain, which results in a large space resistance and inhibits gas hydrate agglomerating. The results of MD simulation show GHI1 can damage the surface cage in hydrate lattice; the hydrogen and oxygen in GHI1 can form hydrogen bonds respectively with oxygen and hydrogen in hydrates, which makes the surface molecules of the cages unstable and distorts the cages; Synergist diethylene glycol ether increases strength and range of length of hydrogen bond.

The gas hydrates problem has been growing in offshore deep water condition where due to low temperature and high pressure hydrate formation becomes more favorable. Several studies have been done to predict the influence of gas hydrate formation in natural gas flow pipeline. However, the effects of multiphase hydrodynamic properties on hydrate formation are missing in these studies. The use of CFD to simulate gas hydrate formation can overcome this gap. In this study a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed for mass, heat and momentum transfer for better understanding natural gas hydrate formation and its migration into the pipelines using ANSYS CFX-14. The problem considered in this study is a three-dimensional multiphase-flow model based on Simon Lo (2003) study, which considered the oil-dominant flow in a pipeline with hydrate formation around water droplets dispersed into the oil phase. The results obtained in this study will be useful in designing a multiphase flow metering and a pump to overcome the pressure drop caused by hydrate formation in multiphase petroleum production.
