The 63 technical research papers and accompanying databases presented in this publication are far reaching in their impact, and provide an extraordinary level of detail on one of the world's most concentrated gas hydrate deposits. Important new work and insight are presented on gas hydrate production testing. New studies are reported on in situ physical and geophysical properties of gas hydrate, with complementary studies on an extensive coring program. New appraisals are presented on the relevance of gas hydrate to energy, climate, and geohazard research. We are proud of the efforts of all 300 scientists and engineers involved in the Mallik 2002 Gas Hydrate Production Research Well Program, and we hope that the body of work we have contributed to the public forum will leave a mark in this fast-growing and important research field.
