In the current numerical simulation studies, bottom water in Class II hydrate-bearing layers is represented by grids with high water saturation that significantly extends the calculation time if the volume of the bottom water is large or grid size is small. Moreover, the influence of the bottom water volume on the depressurization performance of Class II hydrate-bearing layers has not been fully investigated. In this study, the Fetkovich analytic aquifer model was coupled with a simulation model of a hydrate reservoir to accelerate the simulation of Class II hydrate-bearing layers. Then the simulation results and calculation time were compared between the coupled model and the model in which the bottom water layer is only represented by grids. Finally, the influence of the bottom water volume on the productivity of gas and water in the depressurization method was investigated and the variation of pressure, temperature, and hydrate saturation during the production process was analyzed. The results show that the coupled model can significantly reduce the simulation time of Class II hydrate-bearing layer while ensuring calculation accuracy. When the pore volume of the aquifer increases to 20 times that of the bottom water layer, the computation time of a single model in which the bottom water layer is represented by grids is 18.7 times that of the coupled model. Bottom water invasion slows down the depressurization, and therefore, the larger the aquifer, the lower the peak value of gas production, and the later it appears. However, the invading bottom water can provide heat for hydrate dissociation; therefore, the gas production rate of the hydrate-bearing layer with bottom water is higher than that of the hydrate-bearing layer without bottom water in the late development stage. Generally, the presence of bottom water reduces the cumulative gas production and increases the cumulative water production; therefore, the larger the aquifer, the more unfavorable the depressurization development of the hydrate-bearing layer.

For the water-sweeping gas reservoir, especially when the water-body is active, water invasion can play positive roles in maintaining formation pressure and keeping the gas well production. But when the water-cone break through and towards the well bottom, suffers from the influencing of gas-water two phase flows, permeability of gas phase decrease sharply and will have a serious impact on the production performance of the gas well. Moreover, the time when the water-cone breakthrough will directly affect the final recovery of the gas wells, therefore, the numerical simulation method is used to conduct the research on the key influencing factors of water-invasion performance for the gas wells with bottom-water, which is the basis of the mechanical model for the typical gas wells with bottom-water. It indicate that as followings: (1) the key influencing factors of water-invasion performance for the gas wells with bottom-water are those, such as the open degree of the gas beds, well gas production and the amount of Kv/Kh value; and (2) the barrier will be in charge of great significance on the water-controlling for the bottom water gas wells, and its radius is the key factor to affect water-invasion performance for the bottom water gas wells where the barriers exist nearby.

Historic Data

Spatial structure of the macroand meiobenthic communities of the south-eastern Barents Sea (also known as Pechora Sea) was investigated in 2003 during the expedition of the RV «Professor Shtokman». One grid of the stations was used for both benthic size classes. Community dominated by Serripes groenlandicus occupied the most part of the investigated polygon, Astarte borealis dominated the easternmost station. Described communities are in correspondence with historic data. In the meiobenthic communities, nematodes played a leading role, accounting for 86–94% of the total number. Nematode Richtersia inaequalis was dominant on most stations, at the northernmost station the nematodes Cervonema papillatum and Microlaimus affinis dominated. The temperature and the salinity of the near-bottom water layer were homogenous, macroand meiobenthic communities were not influenced by grain size. In contrast to our expectations, communities of the macroand meiobenthos were distributed independently of each other on the mesoscale area (30×11 km).

Microbiological Characteristics

Chlorophyll a concentration, the total abundance of bacteria, the number of bacterial cells with active metabolism, and the abundance of saprotrophic bacteria were studied in the surface and bottom water layers of Lake Beloe in winter and spring 20152016. The abundance of sanitary-indicator microorganisms was determined for the first time with the use of Petrifilm test-systems (3MTM Petrifilm). In most cases, Lake Beloe water in spring and winter was found to correspond to eutrophic level (in terms of chlorophyll a concentration in water) and polysaprobic status (in terms of microbiological indices). By its sanitary-microbiological characteristics, the lake is clearthe values of the total microbial count, determined with the use of test-systems 3M Petrifilm Aqua (AQHC), were 1000 CFU/mL, and the abundance of coliform bacteria, determined with the use of test-systems 3M Petrifilm Aqua (AQСC), varied from 20 to 135 CFU/100 mL. Coliform bacteria were mostly found in the bottom water layer. It was shown that, in the organization of ecologicalmicrobiological studies, special attention is to be paid to the bottom horizons of water bodies.

Abstract Studies were carried out in the years 2008-2010 in Lake Starzyc, zachodniopomorskie voivodship. The aim was to determine differences in the concentrations of selected water quality parameters between particular months of the vegetation seasons 2008-2010. Monthly mean concentrations of dissolved oxygen between April and October were by 1.91 g O2m-3 higher in surface than in near-bottom water layer. Differences in the concentration of dissolved oxygen were also noted between particular months. Recorded concentrations fell within the range required for lake waters of the first and second water quality. Concentrations of mineral nitrogen in the years 2008-2010 corresponded to those of the third class of water quality and phosphorus concentrations exceeded this standard. Concentrations of ammonium ions did not exceed the values permitted for the second water quality class.
