Production


Methane Hydrate Well

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
