Gas Hydrates: Recent Development and Commercial Approaches

Anupama Kumari* and C.B. Majumder

Gas hydrates have the ability to become a vast energy source in the future and can fulfill natural gas demand in the future. All over the world, there are huge sized deposits are present. At present demand for energy is growing, but currently these are not present commercially. There are large deposits of gas hydrates, but safe and economic production of gas from gas hydrates are not known yet. Hence, the development of new and economical, suitable technologies and methods are developed for the dissociation of gas from gas hydrates. Currently the simplest and economical dissociation technique is geothermal dissociation. The production method of natural gas from gas hydrates is being developed such as depressurization, thermal stimulation and chemical injection. In this study, we reviewed several articles to compare the different dissociation techniques of gas hydrates and also studied new acquired techniques for dissociation of gas hydrates till now.
