Abstract
This disclosure relates to techniques for determining a dissociation constant of a reservoir that includes methane hydrate and generating a methane hydrate production output that may be used to inform certain decisions related to processing a reservoir that includes the methane hydrate. In some embodiments, the techniques may include determining the dissociation constant using multiple pressures measured at different flowrates at time points from within a wellbore.
