Characterization of Formation Deformation during Production Test from Gas Hydrate in Alaska: A Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing Approach

Abstract Reliable monitoring of geomechanical responses is essential for the safe and sustainable production of gas hydrate reservoirs. This study reports the first field-scale application of distributed strain sensing (DSS) during a 10 month extended gas production test on Alask...

Multiphysical Responses of a Gas Hydrate Reservoir to Extended-Duration Gas Production on the Alaska North Slope

Abstract The field test of extended-duration gas production from a gas hydrate-bearing reservoir via depressurization─formally titled the JOGMEC–DOE–USGS Collaborative Gas Hydrate R&D Project in Alaska─was conducted in the Prudhoe Bay Unit on the Alaska North Slope during 2023–20...
