In Japan, research and development were undertaken on gas hydrate-side industrial processes associated with power generation system connections that may particularly be necessary to develop gas hydrated technology-based industrial systems. In so doing, data and engineering technologies useful n formulating guidelines on design of practical process were accumulated. In addition, basic research into theoretical evidence were carried out to promote and support the development of technological elements for those processes. In basic research designed to promote and support the research and development of elemental technologies, microanalyses were conducted to understand the decomposition mechanism of mixed gas hydrate. Moreover, measurement technologies that can be applied in industrial processes, such as numerical analyses and concentration measurement, were examined. Japan has developed a highly efficient gas hydrate formation process using micro-bubbles with a tubular reactor. Higher formation rate over conventional systems has been obtained by the process. As mentioned above, the technical problems were clarified and the economics were studied from a view point of the NGH technology in this study. The results can be applied for utilization and must contribute to popularization of gas hydrate production.

Gas hydrate has a unique property that can store a large volume of gas in water as a solid form. Even though investigations for natural gas storage technology have been carried out for several decades, there are still a lot of unsolved problems due to complex formation process, low formation speed, high energy consumption and so on. So, lots of experiments were conducted to overcome these weaknesses and to develop artificial NGH formation technology applicable to industrial-scale storage and commercial transport. In this study, some series of experiments were performed to analyze both stirred and unstirred system especially about the influences of several gas hydrate formation factors such as agitation speed, system temperature, SDS concentration, etc. As a result, optimum range of SDS concentration and temperature that could enhance the storage capacity and shorten the formation time were found. And it is obviously presented that SDS such a kind of surfactant promotes gas hydrate formation dramatically and the quantity of stored gas are proportional to agitation speed in stirred system.

이 논문에서는 일정한 온도를 유지할 수 있는 자켓타입의 교반 반응기내에서 인공적으로 메탄 하이드레이트를 제조하였으며, 제조시의 하이드레이트의 형상 변화를 관찰하였다. 제조된 하이드레이트의 연소 시연에서는 하이드레이트로 천연가스의 수송 및 저장 가능성을 나타내고 있다. 또한 메탄 하이드레이트 제조시 제조 조건들, 반응기의 온도, 압력 및 교반속도 등의 영향에 대하여 측정하였다. 이러한 제조 조건에 따라 하이드레이트의 생성 속도 및 유도시간을 관찰하였다. 특히 하이드레이트의 성장 즉 핵의 생성과 하이드레이트의 구조 형성에 커다란 영향을 주는 것은 인자들 중에 온도와 압력으로 가스 하이드레이트에 관한 가스의 저장과 수송측면을 알아 볼 경우에 필히 검토해야 할 부분으로 판단된다.

Methane hydrate is formed by physical binding between water molecules and methane gas, which is captured in the cavities of water molecules under the specific temperature and pressure. $1m^3$ hydrate of pure methane can be decomposed to the methane gas of $172m^3$ and water of $0.8m^3$ at standard condition. Therefore, there are a lot of practical applications such as separation processes, natural gas storage transportation and carbon dioxide sequestration. For the industrial utilization of hydrate, it is very important to rapidly manufacture hydrate. So in this study, hydrate formation was experimented by adding THF and oxidized carbon nanotubes in distilled water, respectively. The results show that when the oxidized carbon nanofluids of 0.03 wt% was, the amount of gas consumed during the formation of methane hydrate was higher than that in the THF aqueous solution. Also, the oxidized carbon nanofluids decreased the hydrate formation time to a greater extent than the THF aqueous solution at the same subcooling temperature.

2010년 2차 울릉분지 가스 하이드레이트 시추 (UBGH2)를 통하여 총 10개 정점에서 가스 하이드레이트 함유 퇴적물 코아를 채취하였다. 이 연구에서는 열화상 분석과 입도분석 결과에 따라 퇴적물 입도분포, 온도 이상(${\Delta}T$), 가스 하이드레이트 포화도, 가스 하이드레이트 산출형태간의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 가스 하이드레이트는 유형 I(니질층의 단열을 충진하는 형태), 유형 II(니질층의 산재하는 형태), 그리고 유형 III(사질층의 공극을 충진하는 형태)로 분류하였다. 입도분석 결과, 유형 I과 II는 가스 하이드레이트 함유 및 미함유 구간 모두 입도가 유사한 니질층으로 이루어진 반면, 유형 III는 입도가 뚜렷이 구별되는 사질층과 니질층으로 이루어져 있다. 유형 III에서는 모래 함량이 증가할 수록 가스 하이드레이트 포화도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 열화상에서 분석된 ${\Delta}T$는 가스 하이드레이트 산출형태와 상관없이 가스 하이드레이트 포화도와 비례하는 경향을 보인다. 시추지점의 암상과 탄성파 단면의 특징에서 보면, 탄성파 단면에서 침니 구조가 나타나는 지점은 유형 I이, 사질층이 거의 없는 분지사면에서는 유형 II가, 저탁류 사질층이 자주 협재하는 지점에서는 유형 III가 우세하게 나타난다. 이와 같은 특징으로 보아 가스 하이드레이트 산출형태는 가스 하이드레이트 함유 지층의 지질학적 특징과 관련 있으며, 특히 퇴적물의 입도분포에 큰 영향을 받음을 보여준다.

Korean Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) has studied on gas hydrate in the Ulleung Basin, East sea of Korea since 1997. Most of all, a evidence for existence of gas hydrate, possible new energy resources, in seismic reflection data is bottom simulating reflection (BSR) which parallel to the sea bottom. Here we conducted the conventional data processing for gas hydrate data and Kirchhoff prestack depth migration. Kirchhoff migration is widely used for pre- and post-stack migration might be helpful to better image as well as to get the geological information. The processed stack image by GEOBIT showed some geological structures such as faults and shallow gas hydrate seeping area indicated by strong BSR. The BSR in the stack image showed at TWT 3.07s between shot gather No 3940 to No 4120. The estimated gas seeping area occurred at the shot point No 4187 to No 4203 and it seems to have some minor faults at shot point No 3735, 3791, 3947 and 4120. According to the result of depth migration, the BSR showed as 2.3km below the sea bottom.

이 연구는 단성분계(메탄)과 다성분계(천연가스) 하이드레이트의 상평형 조건을 관찰하고, 반응시간에 따른 하이드레이트 생성 거동을 관찰하여 비교 분석하였다. 단성분과 다성분계 하이드레이트의 차이점은 크게 유도지체시간과 안정 영역이다. 반응시 다성분계 하이드레이트는 가스의 성분들이 서로 다른 농도변화를 나타내었으며, 제조된 하이드레이트를 해리시켰을 때도 서로 다른 해리 속도에 의해 각 가스 성분들의 농도가 변화되었다. 압력이 6 MPa이고, 온도가 276.65 K이며, 교반속도가 600 rpm일때 다성분계 하이드레이트 제조시 메탄이외의 여러 가스 성분들에 의해 하이드레이트 핵 생성이 빠르게 진행되어 유도지체시간은 짧다. 그리고 단성분계 하이드레이트는 단일 성분으로 이루어져 있으므로 안정 영역이0.055 mole of $CH_4$/mole of water에서 보다 뚜렷하게 관찰되고, 다성분계 하이드레이트는 안정 영역이 0.04 mole of $CH_4/$mole of water에서 관찰된다.

Electrical resistivity in hydrate-bearing sediments is sensitive to porosity, gas hydrate saturation, gas content, pore fluid composition, and temperature, so electrical measurements such as well logs and electromagnetic surveys have been used to explore gas hydrate-bearing formation. The high pressure tomography cell is designed considering the effect of electrode configuration and electrical shielding on tomography measurements and the safety. The evolution of electrical conductivity during $CO_2$ hydrate formation and dissociation reflects the combined effects of concurrent changes that include ionization of dissolved $CO_2$, temperature-dependent ionic mobility, changes in the degree of saturation, ion exclusion, surface conduction, and porosity changes. Measurements during hydrate formation and dissociation require careful analysis to properly interpret signatures, in particular when out-of plane conductivity anomalies prevail.
