Directory of Hydrate Researchers & Related Project Participants

Please visit the National Methane Hydrate R&D Program website for more information.

Special Notice: The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are guiding a collaborative, international effort to compare methane hydrate reservoir simulators. As part of this effort, a webpage with information on this study is now publicly available. The page provides background information about the study, a list of participants involved, an overview of the simulators included in the study, as well as detailed information about each case study being compared. Results are available for each problem the group has completed to date and new information and results files will be added to the site as they become available.

If you would like your name added to the list of researchers please contact  James.Dean@eg.netl.doe.gov.
