Time evolution of (a) gas pressure, (b) hydrate saturation, (c) temperature distributions at 6 and 36 months after initiation of CO2 injection, and (d) total mass of CO2 gas injected after 40 months of injection for three different values of initial water saturation (S w0) in porous layer. Injection parameters are same as given in Table 1 except S w0. (Test cases 5–7).
