INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS IN THE ARCTIC ZONE BY CREATING UNDERGROUND GAS HYDRATE STORAGE FACILITIES
Abstract
In the article the authors propose a gradual abandonment of the outdated practice of early/urgent importation of energy resources to remote settlements and industrial facilities. Marked the main directions of studies in the perspective of transition from a research and development level to a level of industrial application. Examined the nature of gas hydrates decomposition with the purpose of developing a modern technology of transportation and storage of natural gas and its components in the hydrated state. Advantages of this technology consist in the stability and compactness of the storage due to the property of gas in the hydrate state to occupy at the same pressure and temperature a smaller volume than in the free state. Explored the possibility of using as a reservoir under-ground aquifers. Described successful synthesis methods of methane, ethane, and natural gas hydrates with addition of a surfactant to the solution that have been performed in a laboratory, as well as a constructing technology of an underground reservoir of increased useful volume. Conducted an analysis of Russian and foreign practices of using gas hydrates for gas supply to industrial and civil facilities.
