Experiments show that ensuring oil and gas production under certain pressures and temperatures requires a thorough understanding of the effects of inhibitors on gas hydrate formation and dissociation.

And that may become an accurate description for the frozen fossil-fuel deposits that go by the name “flammable ice.” On Tuesday, Japan announced that it had tapped into flammable ice beneath the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have recreated the high-pressure, low-temperature conditions of the seafloor in a tabletop apparatus for the study of ...

A process and related technology that research at the US Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) helped to develop could enhance the use of natural gas and the world's vast ...

Unfortunately Mann offers precious little data on price or production rates. If Mann’s data on methane hydrates is correct, then Japan’s experiment so far has taken 10 years and $700 million to ...

Combustible ice is seen burning on an ultra-deep-water semi-submersible drilling rig near the coast in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, recently. [Photo/Xinhua] A natural gas hydrate national laboratory ...

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have experimentally shown that methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) can exist as gas hydrates at temperatures and pressures seen in interstellar ...
