Abstract
The occurrence of gas hydrates in the Mackenzie Delta-Beaufort Sea region raises a number of concerns for resource and hazard assessments and for global change studies in permafrost regions. In preparation for a major gas hydrate research exploration well planned for February 1998, a detailed evaluation of terrestrial gas hydrate occurrences has been undertaken in the Mackenzie Delta-Beaufort Sea region. Newly developed gas hydrate well log evaluation techniques have been used to calculate sediment porosities and gas hydrate saturations in the gas-hydrate-bearing interval of the Mallik L-38 well. The gas hydrate accumulation delineated by the Mallik L-38 well has been determined to contain about 4,284,000,000 cubic meters of gas in the one square kilometer area surrounding the drill site.
