Abstract D. W. Davidsonet al. [7] were among the first to recognize significant deposits of natural gas clathrate hydrates in the Western Hemisphere. This work discusses the recovery of gas from such deposits, through laboratory measurement and modeling of a depressurization scheme. The work provides a determination of the volume of gas produced and the position of the hydrate interface, as a function of time when a hydrate-containing core is depressurized. A moving boundary model is shown to provide a satisfactory fit to hydrate dissociation measurements. Qualitative information is provided concerning hydrate formation in Berea Sandstone cores.
