Gas Hydrates as an Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resource
Methane hydrates are formed in high-pressure and low-temperature environments such as the ocean floor and high-latitude permafrost deposits. At the molecular level, these icelike solids consist of water cages that contain methane molecules which are usual
