Effect of Non-Hydrostatic Pore Pressure on the Depth to the Base of the Hydrate Stability Zone
Regional estimates of the base of gas hydrate stability in settings like the North Slope of Alaska, the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories, and even the Gulf of Mexico generally assume a hydrostatic pore fluid pressure model. While this may be suitable for some purposes, the actual pressur...
