BIM-integrated portfolio-based strategic asset data quality management

A building's strategic asset management (SAM) capability has traditionally been limited by its site-based management. With the emergence of needs from clients about delivering a long-term portfolio-based building asset management plan that minimizes the asset risk and optimizes the value of their asset portfolios, SAM Units have emerged as a...

Negative Effects of Inorganic Salt Invasion on the Dissociation Kinetics of Silica-Confined Gas Hydrate via Thermal Stimulation

Methane hydrate dissociation kinetics can be inhibited in NaCl solutions; however, this effect is reversed by promoting bubble formation that enhances dissociation. The negative and positive effects of inorganic salt injection on gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments are still controversial. Here, molecular dynamics simulations were...

The dynamic behavior of gas hydrate dissociation by heating in tight sandy reservoirs: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Knowledge on the kinetics of gas hydrate dissociation in microporous sediments is very important for developing safe and efficient approaches to gas recovery from natural gas hydrate (NGH) deposits. Herein, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the dissociation kinetics in microporous sediments. The hydrate phase occupies a...
