Not exact matches

Gas hydrates are expected to make up a significant portion of the energy mix once existing oil fields dwindle, Scott says.

Prior to the 1970s, hydrates were thought of only as nuisances, because they can plug oil and gas pipelines in the field.

Two years ago, in a kind of crater off the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 10,000 feet down, a team led by Myriam Sibuet of the French Research Institute for Ocean Exploitation, discovered a spectacular cold seep with a vast field of clams and mussels, blue shrimp, purple sea cucumbers, and six - foot - long tube worms growing in bushes next to mounds of gas hydrate.

Gas hydrates — a mixture of ice and methane — are found only under high pressure and at cold temperatures, and they are expected to make up a significant portion of the energy mix once existing oil fields dwindle, says David Scott, manager of the Northern Resources Development Program for Natural Resources Canada.

She heads the gas hydrates program at a U.S. Geological Survey field center in Woods Hole, Mass., and was not involved in the new work.

Researchers at Southern Methodist University will conduct numerical modeling, field data collection, and extensive laboratory analyses to characterize the state of the upper boundary of pressures and temperatures where gas hydrates are in a stable form on the Alaskan Beaufort continental slope.

These new projects, managed by the Energy Department's National Energy Technology Laboratory, will focus research on field programs for deepwater hydrate characterization, the response of methane hydrate systems to changing climates, and advances in the understanding of gas - hydrate - bearing deposits.

Applications are sought that utilize data from past scientific field experiments (for example, the Mt. Elbert and Iġnik Sikumi tests in Alaska; Mallik tests in Canada) to (1) provide insight into the design of future field production experiments and (2) elucidate the nature of gas - hydrate - bearing sediments and their response to induced changes in physical and / or chemical environmental conditions.

Projects are to utilize existing field data, and / or collect field data (including log, core, and remote sensing data) to evaluate the occurrence, nature, and behavior of gas hydrate geologic systems.
