MH - The Clean Energy Source

MH Development - Japan and MH21

MH21 is a Japan National Project. Japan Drilling Company, Ltd., is a primary participant.

JDC has a target of undertaking the world's first sustained drill stem test in Deepwater in the Nankai Trough, just off of the South Coast of Japan. This test will be preceded by coring operations in late FY 2003, and then extensive technology development leading to a successful test in FY 2007.

SEPI has been appointed by JDC to assist in the development of this exceptionally important pioneering effort.

The JDC Goal: To develop an HSE validated well plan which has the ability to ensure maximum reservoir exposure, and the flexibility to facilitate sustained, commercial levels of Methane Hydrate production.
