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.

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 ...

Researchers at the College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore, have discovered that adding simple ...

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 study published recently in the journal Physical Review Letters highlights the discovery of a new hydrogen clathrate hydrate that could improve the storage and transportation of hydrogen fuels. The ...

A technology that allows the preparation of artificial methane hydrates has been developed by researchers. These researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to prepare methane hydrates in a ...

The right way to understand the potential of unconventional fuels like methane hydrates and tight oil is to closely examine their production rates and their prices. If these fuels can be produced at ...

A study last week suggested that there could be up to 400 billion metric tonnes of methane under the Antarctic ice sheet. The concern this study flagged up was the effect on the climate such a large ...

Shale has the spotlight for now. But there's another, lesser-known substance with the potential to yield even greater quantities of natural gas: methane hydrate. Hydrates consist of a lattice-like ...

Worrying about methane hydrates warming the atmosphere is like worrying about your house burning down after it's been leveled by a hurricane, according to an expert scientist with the Department of ...

A natural gas hydrate national laboratory under China National Offshore Oil Corporation has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, as China gains an edge for combustible ice ...
