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. The project is still in the initial planning phase with the work so far focused on development of a comprehensive Research Management Plan and Statement of
