    Description: Geochemical data (CH4, SO42−, I−, Cl−, particulate organic carbon (POC), δ13C-CH4, and δ13C-CO2) are presented from the upper 30 m of marine sediment on a tectonic submarine accretionary wedge offshore southwest Taiwan. The sampling stations covered three ridges (Tai-Nan, Yung-An, and Good Weather), each characterized by bottom simulating reflectors, acoustic turbidity, and different types of faulting and anticlines. Sulfate and iodide concentrations varied little from seawater-like values in the upper 1–3 m of sediment at all stations; a feature that is consistent with irrigation of seawater by gas bubbles rising through the soft surface sediments. Below this depth, sulfate was rapidly consumed within 5–10 m by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) at the sulfate-methane transition. Carbon isotopic data imply a mainly biogenic methane source. A numerical transport-reaction model was used to identify the supply pathways of methane and estimate depth-integrated turnover rates at the three ridges. Methane gas ascending from deep layers, facilitated by thrusts and faults, was by far the dominant term in the methane budget at all sites. Differences in the proximity of the sampling sites to the faults and anticlines mainly accounted for the variability in gas fluxes and depth-integrated AOM rates. By comparison, methane produced in situ by POC degradation within the modeled sediment column was unimportant. This study demonstrates that the geochemical trends in the continental margins offshore SW Taiwan are closely related to the different geological settings.

    Description: Gashydrate sind eisähnliche Verbindungen, in denen Hydratbildner, z.B. Methan, in hoher Dichte gespeichert werden können. Methanhydrate sind nur bei hohen Drücken und tiefen Temperaturen sowie in Anwesenheit hoher Methankonzentrationen stabil. Diese Stabilitätsbedingungen sind unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen in marinen Sedimenten erfüllt, in denen Methan durch den mikrobiellen Abbau von abgelagerter Biomasse entsteht oder aus größeren Tiefen zugeführt wird. Die globale Menge an Methan in marinen Gashydraten überschreitet die Menge an Erdgas in konventionellen Lagerstätten vermutlich um ein Mehrfaches. Eine potenzielle Nutzung von Gashydraten als zukünftige Energiequelle wird daher gegenwärtig weltweit untersucht. Erste Feldtests in Permafrostregionen und marinen Lagerstätten haben gezeigt, dass eine Produktion von Methan aus Gashydraten prinzipiell möglich ist. Eine Förderung von Methan aus Gashydraten kann technisch realisiert werden mittels Druckabsenkung, durch thermische Stimulation oder chemische Aktivierung. Die Injektion von CO2, ebenfalls ein Hydratbildner, kann eine solche Aktivierung der natürlichen Hydrate bewirken und das Methan in der Hydratstruktur ersetzen. Infolgedessen erscheint eine verfahrenstechnische Kombination von Hydratabbau und CO2-Speicherung als besonders sinnvoll, da im Idealfall eine emissionsarme bis -freie Energiegewinnung ermöglicht würde. Untersuchungen zur Aufklärung mechanistischer und fluiddynamischer Aspekte der CH4-CO2-Hydratumwandlung sowie zur Entwicklung eines technischen Verfahrens werden in unterschiedlichen Hochdruckanlagen auf verschiedenen Skalen durchgeführt. Diese speziellen Systeme bieten die Möglichkeit, marine Druck-, Temperatur- und Durchflussbedingungen zu simulieren. Sie sind mit verschiedenen Sensoren und Messsystemen (z.B. CTD, IR, Raman, MRI) ausgerüstet, um den Prozessverlauf störungsfrei zu überwachen. Basierend auf derzeitigen Ergebnissen erscheint die Injektion von erwärmtem, überkritischem CO2 als vielversprechender technischer Baustein für die Verfahrensentwicklung. Die Zuführung von Wärmeenergie bewirkt die initiale Destabilisierung der Gashydrate und die Freisetzung von CH4, während nach Abkühlung das CO2 seinerseits Hydrate bildet und als feste, immobile Phase im Sediment zurückgehalten wird. Sowohl Methanproduktion als auch CO2-Speicherung sind dabei abhängig von der Reservoirtemperatur, so dass die Prozesseffizienz und -ausbeute bei mittleren Temperaturen (8°C) höher ist als bei niedrigeren (2°C) und höheren Temperaturen (10°C). Dies deutet darauf hin, dass der Gesamtprozess durch die Raten der jeweiligen Teilreaktionen der Hydratzersetzung und Hydratneubildung stark beeinflusst wird. Der experimentelle Vergleich unterschiedlicher Injektionsmodi zeigt, dass eine alternierende CO2-Injektion bestehend aus Injektions- und Reaktionsintervallen höhere Ausbeuten erreicht als eine kontinuierliche Injektion.

    Description: The production of natural gas via injection of fossil-fuel derived CO2 into submarine gas hydrate reservoirs can be an example of tapping a hydrocarbon energy source in a CO2-neutral manner. However, the industrial application of this method is technically challenging. Thus, prior to feasibility testing in the field, multi-scale laboratory experiments and adapted reaction-modeling are needed. To this end, high-pressure flow-through reactors of 15 and 2000 mL sample volume were constructed and tested. Process parameters (P, T, Q, fluid composition) are defined by a fluid supply and conditioning unit to enable simulation of natural fluid-flow scenarios for a broad range of sedimentary settings. Additional Raman- and NMR-spectroscopy aid in identifying the most efficient pathway for CH4 extraction from hydrates via CO2 injection on both microscopic and macroscopic level. In this study we present experimental set-up and design of the highpressure flow-through reactors as well as CH4 yields from H4-hydrate decomposition experiments using CO2-rich brines and pure liquefied CO2.

    Description: Within the German gas hydrate initiative SUGAR, we have developed a new tool for predicting the formation of sub-seafloor gas hydrate deposits. For this purpose, a new 2D/3D module simulating the biogenic generation of methane from organic material and the formation of gas hydrates has been added to the petroleum systems modeling software package PetroMod®. T ypically, PetroMod® simulates the thermogenic generation of multiple hydrocarbon components including oil and gas, their migration through geological strata, and finally predicts the oil and gas accumulation in suitable reservoir formations. We have extended PetroMod® to simulate gas hydrate accumulations in marine and permafrost environments by the implementation of algorithms describing (1) the physical, thermodynamic, and kinetic properties of gas hydrates; and (2) a kinetic continuum model for the microbially mediated, low temperature degradation of particulate organic carbon in sediments. Additionally, the temporal and spatial resolutions of PetroMod® were increased in order to simulate processes on time scales of hundreds of years and within decimeters of spatial extension. As a first test case for validating and improving the abilities of the new hydrate module, the petroleum systems model of the Alaska North Slope developed by IES (currently Shlumberger) and the USGS has been chosen. In this area, gas hydrates have been drilled in several wells, and a field test for hydrate production is planned for 2011/2012. The results of the simulation runs in PetroMod® predicting the thickness of the gas hydrate stability field, the generation and migration of biogenic and thermogenic methane gas, and its accumulation as gas hydrates will be shown during the conference. The predicted distribution of gas hydrates will be discussed in comparison to recent gas hydrate findings in the Alaska North Slope region.

    Description: The accumulation of methane hydrate in marine sediments is basically controlled by the accumulation of particulate organic carbon at the seafloor, the kinetics of microbial organic matter degradation and methane generation in marine sediments, the thickness of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), the solubility of methane in pore fluids within the GHSZ and the ascent of deepseated pore fluids and methane gas into the GHSZ. Our present knowledge on these controlling factors is discussed and new estimates of global sediment and methane fluxes are presented. A new transport-reaction model is applied at a global grid defined by these up- dated parameter values. The model yields an improved and better constrained estimate of the global inventory of methane gas hydrates in marine sediments (3000 ± 2000 Gt of methane carbon).
