Method for Resistance Measurement in a Three-Phase Mixture

Keywords: high-pressure autoclave, three-phase mixture, resistance measurement

Methanehydrate deposits may potentially contribute to the world´s energy demands. However, neither the deposits of methanehydrate nor its mining techniques are well understood. Among the unresolved questions regarding methanehydrate are its natural formation and how its gas molecules are included within the structural lattice of water molecules. To address these issues a new resistance measurement technique and device have been developed. A high-pressure autoclave with a measuring chamber that allows temperature and resistance to be monitored under high pressure is used to obtain measurements within a sediment into which water and gas can be introduced. Data collected from across the measuring chamber accurately demonstrates the behaviour of the three-phase mixture under high pressure.
