Preface
Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is the last of the recognized unconventional resources of natural gas and perhaps the greatest. Coalbed methane, for which depressurization proved to be the critical factor, and tight/shale gas, for which fracking and lateral, long-pay section drilling are key, have radically altered the indigenous gas resource/reserves in the United States. A median global resource potential for high grade NGH sands, which are deepwater host sediments for NGH based on a new petroleum system approach, may have as much as 43,300 tril
