Gas hydrates are natural ice-like, crystalline solid compounds that form in both permafrost and deep-water oceanic sediments. The large volumes of methane gas stored in hydrates make them an ideal resource for the world’s future energy demands. Hydrate-bearing coarse-grained sand sediments have grea...
