AbstractThe thermal-stimulation test conducted on the JAPEX/JNOC/GSC et al. Mallik 5L-38 gas hydrate production research well in March of 2002 was designed to increase the in situ temperature of a portion of a well defined and constrained gas hydrate reservoir above the gas hydrate stability point,while maintaining constant pressure. Data collected, including surface and downhole instrumentation readings and data from advanced logging and seismic programs, were then used to calibrate numerical gas hydrate reservoir simulation models and determine the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the in situ gas hydrate.

The thermal-stimulation test was successful: bottomhole temperature was increased to greater than 50°C during the test; gas from dissociated gas hydrate was produced, sampled, and flared at surface; and significant amounts of real-time downhole temperature and pressure data, as well as other scientific measurements, were obtained.
