During November work has been focused on two items. These are (a) Analysis of the formation kinetics of synthetic hydrate cores. (b) Analysis of the effect of sediment and heat transfer resistance on the dissociation rate of gas hydrates. The conclusion to be drawn is that dissociation of gas hydrates is severly heat transfer limited after only the shortest periods of time. Even if the conductivities used in this example are not correct, it is clear that the presence of a medium between an injected hot fluid and the hydrate zone must be taken into account in calculating rates at which hydrates will dissociate. 22 references, 4 figures, 4 tables.
