PROGRESS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GAS HYDRATE-A REVIEW OF THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GAS HYDRATES

The study on physical properties of gas hydrate (NGH) has been a hotspot for years taking account of the exploration and exploitation of NGH. This paper made an overall review of the discussions at the 7th International Conference on Gas Hydrates (ICGH7) and tries to introduce the readers to the new achievements and progress of the experimental study of physical parameters of gas hydrate (i. e. the acoustics, mechanics, permeability, electrics and thermal physics), including the changes in physical properties in the process of hydrate formation and dissociation, the technique for measurement and numerical simulation of physical properties. Some comments and suggestions were put forward for reference and further studies.
