Gas hydrate assessment from well logs in the Faroe-Shetland Basin, offshore United Kingdom

The data set consists of a gas hydrate assessment using 20 petroleum industry wells in the Faroe-Shetland Basin, offshore United Kingdom. Well data was downloaded from the UK National Data Repository. The gas hydrate stability zone was identified for each well, based on bottom water temperature, bottom hole temperature and hydrostatic pressure. The presence of hydrate is evaluated using resistivity and gamma ray well logs. Some wells have additional data such as P-wave velocity which was used when available. A background resistivity was identified or calculated for each hole, and resistivity increases above background (0.5 ohm-m and above) were used to identify potential gas hydrate accumulations. The highest resistivities above background were categorized as "A" accumulations, and the lowest were categorized as "D", following the categorization of Majumdar et al., 2017 (Marine and Petroleum Geology). The data file is in Excel spreadsheet format, with column headers. The data set was generated as part the project called, Carbon storage in widespread low-saturation gas hydrate systems. Funding was provided from NSF CAREER award OCE17-52882.
