Production
Methane Hydrate Well
- Because of the complications with
drilling in the permafrost gradient,
methane hydrate production has not yet
been seen as a viable option in the arctic
regions
- Once production is seen a
possibility, drilling methods will be
consistent as they currently are with oil
and gas
- The drilling bit will have a
force (as a mass is pressed along a
certain distance)
- The Natural force on the
drilling bit will change as the
geological sediment changes
- According to
Scientific-Drilling.net, drill bits
can experience up to thousands of
pounds per square inch
