Abstract: Geomechanical behavior of methane hydrate-bearing sediment (MHBS) plays a major role in evaluation of the stability of a hydrate reservoir. A series of triaxial compression tests were conducted on MHBS to study the influence ...

Abstract: In the South China Sea, a significant amount of methane hydrate exists in the sediment containing fine-grained soil. Increasing temperature and/or decreasing pore pressure can remarkably degrade the mechanical characteristics ...
