Mysterious craters have emerged in Siberia’s Yamal Peninsula over the past decade, perplexing scientists. These craters, ...
They believe these eruptions result from methane hydrates trapped within the frozen soil. “We’re talking about a very niche geological space,” said Ana Morgado, a chemical engineer at the ...
This is a computer simulation of methane, also known as natural gas, escaping from a methane hydrate. Many of these methane hydrate subunits combine to form a chunk of ice that burns, and this ...
Frozen methane hydrates are trapped inside subsea permafrost and mixed with sediments across the deep ocean floor. Warming waters and rising temperatures destabilize the hydrates and release the ...
Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of P-PPD and assess its impact on the phase equilibrium of methane hydrates in the presence of various inhibitors. The tests involved monitoring ...
