  • Patent number: 11492884
    Abstract: A methane hydrate production method comprising a step of performing a reservoir grouting process. The reservoir grouting process comprises: injecting a grouting agent into a frozen soil reservoir on the land or a seabed reservoir for targeting methane hydrate existing within sand particles of the target reservoirs; or injecting a filling material into cavities naturally or artificially occurred in a frozen soil reservoir on the land or a seabed reservoir for targeting methane hydrate existing within sand particles of the target reservoirs, and enabling a grouting body being constructed.

  • Publication number: 20210222536
    Abstract: [Problem] In the production of sand reservoir type methane hydrate, there are problems, such as compaction of reservoir or production of sand in the mine, and the effect of existing methods to counter the production of sand is inadequate. [Solution] The present invention can prevent the fluidization of sand occurred when methane hydrate is decomposed by injecting a grouting agent capable of adequately adhere sand particles into gaps (pore gaps) within sand particles which are unsolidified or weakly solidified and constitute the reservoir to be developed. In addition, provided is a technique capable of suppressing the production of sand in the mine, contributing to the stable production of gas, by injecting a filling material into the target reservoir around a mine well and thus constructing a porous grouting body having sufficient strength and good permeability.

  • Patent number: 6813114
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprising a card-type disk drive and a magnetic disk cartridge. The disk drive has a length of 38 to 55 mm, a width of 35 to 51 mm, and a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, and comprises a drive mechanism for rotating the magnetic disk of the magnetic disk cartridge loaded in the disk drive, a magnetic head for magnetically recording or reproducing information on or from the magnetic disk, and an electric connection portion for electrically connecting the drive mechanism and the magnetic head with an electronic circuit provided in electronic equipment. The magnetic disk cartridge has a length of 25 to 36 mm, a width of 25 to 36 mm, and a thickness of 1 to 3 mm. The magnetic disk comprises a magnetic recording medium of high-recording density employing barium ferrite powder and has a recording capacity of 200 megabytes or larger.
