Subject |
Characterizing Natural Gas Hydrates in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico - JIP |
Performing Activity | Chevron Texaco |
Principal Investigator | Dr. Emrys Jones |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Completion | TAR project completed. |
Description |
The Gulf of Mexico Hydrates JIP, in collaboration with NETL/DOE, is investigating naturally occurring gas hydrates in the GOM. The goals of the JIP include:
Use existing data in the database and data collected from the field during the project to develop wellbore and seafloor stability models pertinent to hydrate containing sediments in the GOM. This project was jointly funded by the MMS TA&R Program and Environmental Studies Program. |
Progress | Objectives of the TA&R Program funding have been met. The JIP continues into 2007 and the Environmental Studies Program of MMS continues with their involvement. Further information can be obtained on the JIP website. |
