Summary: The objectives of the study are to: characterize gas hydrates at Mallik using state-of-the-art well log data; collect high-quality core samples for measurement of gas hydrate production parameters (e.g. hydraulic permeability, thermal conductivity, pore water geochemistry); conduct ground temperature monitoring to depths of greater than 1 km to evaluate gas hydrate stability; integrate data to bet...
