Description
Summary:This project will compare and contrast, through numerical simulation, conventional and innovative approaches to producing methane from gas hydrate-bearing geologic reservoirs. Initially, the project will investigate the production of gas hydrates from idealized reservoir configurations. If the initial investigation shows promise for the innovative approaches, additional simulation studies will be conducted using actual gas hydrate reservoir data from the Alaska North Slope (ANS) region. A revised Research Management Plan was issued this quarter to reflect changes in project scope and schedule that have occurred since the initial award. A suite of demonstration production problems for a five-spot well configuration also were completed.
