There is also growing evidence that natural gas can be produced from gas hydrates with existing conventional production technology. Advancements in nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) logging and wireline formation testing have allowed for the characterization of gas hydrate reservoirs at the pore scale. Integrated NMR and formation testing studies from northern Canada and Alaska have yielded valuable insight into how gas hydrates are physically distributed in sediments and the occurrence and nature of pore fluids (i.e., free-water along with clay- and capillary-bound water) in gas hydrate-bearing reservoirs. Information on the distribution of gas hydrate at the pore scale has provided invaluable insight on the mechanisms controlling the formation and occurrence of gas hydrate in nature along with new data on gas hydrate reservoir properties (i.e., porosities and permeabilities) needed to accurately predict gas production characteristics for various gas hydrate production methods.
