Award No. DE-FC26-05NT42666 Battelle Pacific Northwest Division Gas Hydrates Assessment Assessment of Current Technologies for Producing Natural Accumulations of Gas Hydrate

Vast quantities of natural gas are held in hydrate form in geologic reservoirs in sub-oceanic sediments and arctic permafrost zones (KVENVOLDEN, 1988; SLOAN, 1998), where conditions of high pressure and low temperature are within the hydrate stability region. In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey (USG...

Description
Summary:Vast quantities of natural gas are held in hydrate form in geologic reservoirs in sub-oceanic sediments and arctic permafrost zones (KVENVOLDEN, 1988; SLOAN, 1998), where conditions of high pressure and low temperature are within the hydrate stability region. In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study to assess the quantity of natural gas hydrate resources in the United States and found that
