overall increase in the horizontal permeability in the reservoir at the end of the depressurization (i.e., postgas production) compared to that before the gas production. This is because the reservoir sediments at this site are less compressible, so the permeability reduction by stress increase is not as significant as the hydrate-loss-induced permeability increase.
