Baker Hughes Provides Completion System for World's First Marine Hydrate Test Well

摘要

Baker Hughes announced that it participated in the first successful marine methane hydrate production test well offshore Japan in spring. The test was conducted from a drill ship for the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) in the Nankai Trough, approximately 60 kilometers off the southeast coast of Japan, as one of the research activities in Japan's Methane Hydrate R&D Program. Baker Hughes provided the completion system for the test well, which was drilled in approximately 1,000 meters of water into a hydrate formation approximately 300 meters below the mud line.
