OUTLOOK
“Gas hydrates—ice-like compounds containing methane—may become a significant energy resource if ways can be
found to exploit them.
Although many countries and organizations are finding gas
hydrates plentiful and widespread, the problem remains as to
how to produce methane from them safely, efficiently and
economically.”
Schlumberger, 2010

POSSIBLE METHODS TO PRODUCE
GAS FROM GAS HYDRATES
• Reduce the pressure in the reservoir below the hydrate-
equilibrium pressure
•
Increase temperature above the hydrate-equilibriumtemperature
•
Inject chemicals into the hydrated layer that will cause
dissociation
•
Hydrates mining

DEPRESSURIZATION OF GAS
HYDRATES
Source: PATENT WO IB20060036
“A method and system for the
production of a gas hydrate including
the steps of drilling into a subterranean
gas hydrate formation and at least
partially depressurizing the gas hydrateformation to permit separation of gas
and water from the hydrate form. The
gas and water is then pumped from the
formation and recovered from the well.
At least a portion of water pumped from
the well is water that is introduced into
the well from the surface or
reintroduced by a feed back loop from
the production operation.”

OFFICIAL RESULTS
“As the result, it was proven that the depressurization method isable to dissociate methane hydrate more efficiently.
Therefore, it is planned to apply the depressurization method to
this offshore production test as well.”
NEWS RELEASE Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National
Corporation (www.jogmec.go.jp)
“The Mallik tests successfully demonstrated a field-scale proof-
of-concept for gas production from hydrates bydepressurization using conventional oilfield technologies
adapted for arctic conditions.”

CONCLUSION
• There are several possible methods of gas production
from gas hydrates
•
All of them are energy-intensive methods
•
“it was proven that the depressurization method is able todissociate methane hydrate more efficiently.”
