Preliminary Assessment of Hydrocarbon Gas Sources from the Mt . Elbert No . 1 Gas Hydrate Test Well , Milne Pt . Alaska
Hydrocarbon gases were collected from well cuttings and core at the MtElbert-01 gas hydrate stratigraphic test well, drilled within the Milne Point field on the Alaska North Slope. Regionally, the Eileen gas hydrate deposits overlie the more deeply buried Prudhoe Bay, Milne Point, and Kuparuk River oil fields and are restricted to the up-dip portion of a series of nearshore deltaic sandstone re...
متن کاملAnalysis of Modular Dynamic Formation Test Results from the Mount Elbert-01 Stratigraphic Test Well, Milne Point Unit, North Slope Alaska
In February 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy, BP Exploration (Alaska), and the U.S. Geological Survey, collected the first open-hole formation pressure response data in a gas hydrate reservoir (the “Mount Elbert” stratigraphic test well) using Schlumberger’s Modular Dynamics Formation Tester (MDT) wireline tool. As part of an ongoing effort to compare the world’s leading gas hydrate reservoi...
متن کاملGeologic and Engineering Controls on the Production of Permafrost–associated Gas Hydrate Accumulations
In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey made the first systematic assessment of the in-place natural gas hydrate resources of the United States. That study suggested that the amount of gas in the gas hydrate accumulations of northern Alaska probably exceeds the volume of known conventional gas resources on the North Slope. Researchers have long speculated that gas hydrates could eventually be a com...
متن کاملModeling Hydrates and the Gas Hydrate Markup Language
Natural gas hydrates, as an important potential fuels, flow assurance hazards, and possible factors initiating the submarine geo-hazard and global climate change, have attracted the interest of scientists all over the world. After two centuries of hydrate research, a great amount of scientific data on gas hydrates has been accumulated. Therefore the means to manage, share, and exchange these da...
متن کاملNucleation of gas hydrates
The kinetics of nucleation of one-component gas hydrates in aqueous solutions are analyzed. The size of the hydrate nucleus and the work for nucleus formation are determined as functions of the supersaturation Dm: Expressions for the stationary rate J of hydrate nucleation are derived. These expressions describe the JðDmÞ dependence for homogeneous nucleation and for heterogeneous nucleation at...
