PCCT measurements of stress and strain during direct shear tests of fine-grained sediment collected from Area C, Krishna-Godavari Basin during India's National Gas Hydrate Program, NGHP-02

Understanding how effectively methane can be extracted from a gas hydrate reservoir requires knowing how compressible, permeable, and strong the overlying seal sediment is. This data release provides results for flow-through permeability, consolidation, and direct shear measurements made on fine-grained seal sediment from Site NGHP-02-08 offshore eastern India. The sediment was collected in a pressure core from the Krishna-Godavari Basin during the 2015 Indian National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 2 (NGHP ...

Molecular (C1-C5 hydrocarbon, CO2, O2, and N2) and δ13C-CH4 composition of pressure core, void, and hydrate gases from the Terrebonne Basin, Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico), Walker Ridge 313 Site

These data include composition of void gas, pressure core gas, and hydrate gas samples collected from the Terrebonne Basin in the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) at Walker Ridge Site H, Holes H003 and H002. Cores were collected during drilling as part of the Deepwater Hydrate Coring Expedition (UT-GOM2-2) in August 2023. This U.S. Department of Energy funded project was focused on better understanding microbial methane generation in marine sediments and characterizing coarse-grained gas hydrate reservoirs. ...

Grain size analysis and total carbon content of augered sediment samples from Barter Island, Alaska

This data release contains grain size and total carbon analysis of sediment samples from 1 inch hand-augered cores collected from Barter Island, Alaska. These data were collected in 2016 and 2019 (USGS Field Activity 2016-645-FA and 2019-634-FA). Data include location information (latitude, longitude, depth), and the weight percent of 65 phi bins, four size fractions (gravel, sand, silt, clay), total carbon, inorganic carbon, organic carbon, and calcium carbonate.
