Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The complex modeling accuracy of gas hydrate models has been recently improved owing to the existence of data for machine learning tools. In this review, we discuss most of the machine learning tools used in various hydrate-related areas such as phase behavior predictions, hydrate kinetics, CO 2 capture, and gas hydrate natural distribution and saturation. The performance comparison between machine learning and conventional gas hydrate models is also discussed in detail. This review shows that machine learning methods have improved hydrate phase property predictions and could be adopted in current and new gas hydrate simulation software for better and more accurate results.
