Large borehole with multi-lateral branches: A novel solution for exploitation of clayey silt hydrate

ABSTRACT: ontact area are two main ways to raise the productivity of hydrate. An exploitation technique based on large borehole with multi-lateral branches (LB & MB) was proposed in this paper. This technique is mainly intended for the clayey silt hydrate reservoir in the South China Sea, an...
