As part of this effort, the Mount Elbert well included an advanced downhole geophysical logging 12 March 2010 program. Because gas hydrate is unstable at ground surface pressure and temperature conditions, Accepted 22 March 2010 a major emphasis was placed on the downhole-logging program to determine the occurrence of gas Available online 27 March 2010 hydrates and the in-situ physical properties of the sediments. In support of this effort, well-log and core data montages have been compiled which include downhole log and core-data obtained from the gas- Keywords: Gas hydrate hydrate-bearing sedimentary section in the Mount Elbert well.
