title = "Natural gas hydrate resources of the Alaskan arctic and their recovery potential",
abstract = "14 to 20 trillion standard m3 of natural gas is trapped as ice-like solid natural gas hydrate deposits in northern Alaska. The commercial production of natural gas from this significantly large unconventional resource is feasible through detailed reservoir characterization and by energy-efficient in-situ decomposition of hydrates to natural gas. This paper provides a review of the characteristics of naturally occurring gas hydrates, the factors which control their distribution and stability, and describes their resource potential, geologic characteristics and origin in the North Slope, Alaska. Various novel techniques for decomposing in-situ hydrates are described and experimental results on the decomposition characteristics of hydrates during these techniques are discussed.",
