Abstract: A method and system for producing hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon containing hydrate reservoir is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one producer well in fluid communication with a producing facility and with a hydrocarbon containing hydrate reservoir. The hydrate reservoir is in fluid communication with a head space disposed above the hydrate formation. The head space contains disassociated hydrocarbons and water. A sweep gas is swept through the head space to remove the disassociated gas and water from the hydrate reservoir and to transport the disassociated gas and water to the at least one producer well. Preferably, the sweep gas is introduced into the head space utilizing one or more injector wells. The sweep gas may be naturally and/or artificially heated. The additional pressure and/or heat provided by the sweep gas may help inhibit the reformation of disassociated gas and water into hydrates allowing for enhanced production rates.
