FORMATION OF GAS HYDRATE IN A POROUS MEDIUM WITH ARRHENIUS-TYPE KINETICS

The authors have presented a theoretical model of the process of hydrate formation in a porous medium on injection of gas into it in the case where the hydrate-formation kinetics is described by the Arrhenius law. It has been established that in the case of a phase-transition boundary impermeable to the gas fl ow hydrate formation is implemented mainly at constant pressure. It has been shown that on injection of the gas with a temperature equal to the initial temperature in the stratum, the entire water in its pores goes into a gas-hydrate state
