Abstract
The experimental discovery of gas-hydrate self-preservation phenomenon made it possible to establish gas hydrates as one of the permafrost components such as ice, unfrozen water and gas. However, this component is so far poorly investigated. Little is known about conditions of formation and decomposition of gas hydrates in dispersed rocks. Special experimental chambers are used by the authors for the simulation of hydrate formation/decomposition processes in porous media and the study of different factors influencing the hydrate formation in dispersed rocks. Our experimental research reveals new data on kinetics and P, T- conditions of hydrate formation and decomposition in dispersed rocks. The experimental data show, that the process of hydrate formation in porous media depends on composition and structure of dispersed rocks and also on some external condition.
