Project Final Report-DE-FC26-01NT41332-Significant methane hydrate deposits have formed within and below the permafrost in the uppermost reservoirs of the Alaska North Slope (ANS) petroleum system. A desire to better understand the potential productivity of these large natural gas hydrate accumulations and whether or not they could become a commercially viable part of stranded ANS gas resources inspired this multi-year Cooperative Research Agreement (CRA) between BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc. (BPXA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in close collaboration with the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
