Abstract

Replacing methane in gas hydrate with carbon dioxide is a method to exploit natural gas hydrate that combines greenhouse gas sequestration and clean energy source,the key of which is the improvement of replacement rate and enhancement of the kinetics.In this research,carbon dioxide emulsions with different gravity ratio of  CO2 and CH4 were injected into natural gas hydrate.It was shown,after replacement of 24-96 hours,the best result would be obtained when reacting under the condition of CO2 ′ SHZ and beside CH4 ′SHZ,with emulsion′s gravity ratio 90∶10,and the replacing result of  CO2 emulsion would be better than that of liquid CO2 .
