| Abstract | (unpublished)
Scientific and technical studies conducted under the 2007-2008 JOGMEC/NRCan/Aurora Mallik Gas Hydrate Production Research Well Program have successfully demonstrated
proof-of-principle that sustained gas production is achievable by simply depressurizing a gas hydrate reservoir using the same drilling, completion and production methods used for conventional oil and gas resources. This paper reviews the results
that prove the validity of this claim. The results in question consist of 1) the establishment of a petroleum system model representing the development of a gas hydrate field through the migration of thermogenic methane from deeper sedimentary strata
along vertical faults and the subsequent trapping of gas hydrates within a large regional anticlinal structure; 2) determining the significance of the specific physical properties (geological, geophysical and geomechanical) of the sands and sediments
surrounding the gas hydrate reservoir; 3) the construction and safe operation of a producing well using drilling and completion technologies used in conventional oil fields; and 4) the use of reservoir depressurization to produce gas continuously for
six days, with average gas and water flow rates of approximately 2000 and 10 m3/d, respectively, and peak flows of up to 3500-4000 m3/d. Modest upward trends in gas flow were observed during the Stage 2 and Stage 3 production periods.
Numerical
reservoir simulations of the short-term gas and water production rates achieved at the Mallik site were modestly successful. In conclusion, it appears that prior to commencing full-scale operations, there is a need to improve the state of knowledge
regarding the impact of long-term production on the Mallik reservoir, which could be achieved through a 6 to 12 month production trial. (Translation preformed by artificial intelligence.)
