Title: Methane hydrate potential and development of a shallow gas field in the arctic: The Walakpa Field North Slope Alaska

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10149231· OSTI ID:10149231

The goal of the North Slope Hydrate Study is to evaluate the methane hydrate potential of the Walakpa gas field, a shallow gas field located near Barrow, Alaska. Observing, understanding, and predicting the production characteristics of the Walakpa field will be accomplished by the analysis of the reservoir geology, and of the individual well production data, derived from reservoir engineering studies conducted in the field.
