Current Projects and Research
- Thermal Property Measurement for Methane Hydrates – Developed and implemented a system for measuring thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of methane hydrate deposits in a laboratory environment. Currently adapting this for use in the field and other laboratories. For more information see http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/oil-gas/FutureSupply/MethaneHydrates/projects/DOEProjects/NETL-ToolDevelopment.html
