Natural gas hydrate, which is characterized by the big reserves, the high energy density, and the wide distribution, is considered as a kind of potential energy sources in the future. The natural gas hydrate reservoirs have been surveyed in at least 116 regions on earth. The gas hydrate reservoirs are vastly distributed in the permafrost and offshore areas. However, there are just 4 gas production tests at hydrate reservoir until now. The production test sites locate at the Alaska North Slope in the USA, the Mackenzie Delta in the Canada, the Messoyakha Field in West Siberia in the Russia, and the Nankai Trough in the Japan. The researches about the hydrate production technology are mainly focused on the production experiments in laboratory. American, Germany, Japan, and China have developed their hydrate simulators and have done some researches. Various methods for gas production from hydrate reservoirs are proposed, and the key issues during the hydrate exploitation are also discussed in this work.
