Compositional Uniformity and Thermal Properties of Tetra- N -butyl Ammonium Bromide and Tetra- N -butyl Ammonium Chloride Mixed Semiclathrate Hydrates

Abstract Mixed semiclathrate hydrates (SCHs) incorporating various guest molecules exhibit high latent heat and allow precise control of the melting temperatures, making them promising materials for cold energy storage applications. The compositional uniformity and thermal proper...

Production of Secondary Microbial Methane from a Gas Hydrate-Bearing Reservoir at the HYDRATE P1 Production Test Well (PTW-1) on the Alaskan North Slope

Abstract Gas hydrate in the Alaskan North Slope (ANS) is believed to contain as much methane as the known conventional gas accumulations in the Prudhoe Bay field. The JOGMEC-DOE-USGS Collaborative Gas Hydrate R&D Project conducted an extended-duration production test from the sub...
