Methods and apparatus for producing methane gas from a hydrate formation. A column of modified material substantially filling a wellbore extending into the hydrate formation. The column of modified material is permeable to gases. A heat source extends into the column of modified material and is operable to provide heat to the hydrate formation so as to release methane gas from the hydrate formation. Methane gas flow through the column of modified material to a gas collector, which regulates the flow of gas to a production system.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un dispositif destinés à produire du méthane à partir d'une formation d'hydrates. Elle concerne également une colonne d'une matière modifiée remplissant sensiblement un puits de forage s'étendant dans la formation d'hydrates. La colonne de matière modifiée est perméable aux gaz. Une source de chaleur s'étend dans la colonne de matière modifiée et permet un acheminement de chaleur vers la formation d'hydrates en vue d'une libération de méthane à partir de cette formation d'hydrates. Le méthane s'écoule à travers la colonne de matière modifiée en direction d'un collecteur de gaz, lequel régule l'écoulement de gaz vers un système de production.
