Abstract
The state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical studies of the elastic properties of porous media containing gas hydrate was analyzed. It is concluded that all the experiments identified a relationship between the elastic wave velocities and the hydrate content in the porous space: the velocities increase with higher hydrate saturation. The theoretical research produced simulation models for estimating the modulus of elasticity of hydrate-containing porous media to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the results of laboratory experiments.
