Dynamic Coupling Mechanisms and Collapse Risk Mitigation in Gas Hydrate-Bearing Reservoirs: A THMC Framework for Safe Deepwater Drilling

Natural gas hydrate (NGH) has emerged as a strategic alternative energy resource for the 21st century, with the South China Sea containing substantial reserves estimated at 80 billion tons of oil equivalent, 2.5 times those found in terrestrial permafrost regions. However, its exploitation faces critical wellbore sta...
