Alaska Gas Hydrate Research and Stratigraphic Test Preliminary Results

Abstract — Gas hydrate may contain significant gas resources in both onshore arctic and offshore regions throughout the world. The BP-DOE collaborative research project is designed to help determine whether or not gas hydrate can become a technically and economically recoverable gas resource. Reserv...

Description
Summary:Abstract — Gas hydrate may contain significant gas resources in both onshore arctic and offshore regions throughout the world. The BP-DOE collaborative research project is designed to help determine whether or not gas hydrate can become a technically and economically recoverable gas resource. Reservoir characterization, development scenario modeling, and associated studies indicated that 0-0.34 Trillion Cubic Meters (0-12 Trillion Cubic Feet – TCF) gas may be technically recoverable from 0.92 Trillion Cubic Meters (33 TCF) gas-in-place (GIP) Eileen trend gas hydrate beneath industry infrastructure within the Milne
