... in hydrate accumulations are relatively predictable as they are almost invariably hydrostatic. The initial temperature T distribution is important because T is the dominant parameter controlling the hydrate behavior. Knowledge of the P and T distributions are important in determining true time-invariant P...

... Abstract We investigate by means of numerical simulation the coupled flow and geomechanical system behavior during gas production from an oceanic hydrate accumulation at the site of a planned field test at the Ulleung basin in the Korean East Sea. We study the system response at two time...

... in more detail and to illustrate some of the characteristics of typical prospective gas hydrate accumulations. Based on the results of this study, we believe we have localized some of the more interesting "sweet-spots" from an industry perspective. Technological developments, the gas price...

... Abstract Many studies involving the application of geophysical methods in the field of gas hydrates have focused on determining rock physics relationships for hydrate-bearing sediment with the goal being to delineate the boundaries of gas hydrate accumulations and to estimate the quantities...

... can be viewed as a concentrated form of natural gas equivalent to compressed gas but less concentrated than liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural hydrate accumulations worldwide are estimated to contain 700,000 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas, of which 200,000 TCF are located within the United...
