Natural Gas Hydrate Research: Hydrates Annual FY13 Format
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Office of Research and Development (ORD) supports the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Gas Hydrate Research and Development (R&D) program by providing numerical simulations of gas production activities and experimental estimations of physical properties and reaction parameters including geomechanical strength, thermal conductivities, and gas exchange kinetics. The research of NETL ORD is a collective effort via collaboration with the NETL-Regional University Alliance (NETL-RUA), Oak Ridge Alliance Universities – Oak Ridge Institute of Student Exchange (ORAU-ORISE), URS Corporation (URS), and URS subcontractors.
