    This report discusses natural gas hydrates, which are ice-like crystalline compounds formed from natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperatures. The report examines three main extraction methods for natural gas hydrates: pressure reduction, heating, and injection of carbon dioxide. It also explores potential applications of natural gas hydrates, such as storage of natural gas, hydrogen storage, separation of flue gases, and desalination. The report concludes that natural gas can be efficiently stored as a gas hydrate through proper understanding of the processes required to form and prevent dissociation of the hydrate.

    Abstract

    Hydrates are white, solid, ice-like substances that form at elevated pressures and low temperatures
    because of an interaction between a liquid water phase and light natural gas components. This small
    molecule also occurs in solid form, within a structure that looks just like ice, these ice-like
    compounds comprise natural gas and water and are named “Natural Gas Hydrates”. Natural Gas
    hydrates are solid crystalline compounds that are formed by the chemical combination of natural gas
    and water high under pressure and at low temperatures above the freezing point of water.
    The extraction method has its technical advantages and disadvantages but the environmental and
    economic impacts are largely unknown.
    There are currently three main extraction methods for gas hydrate that may be applied
    independently or in combination: 1) pressure reduction, 2) heating, and 3) injection of carbon
    dioxide.
    Gas hydrates are considered a nuisance when they occur in oil/gas flowlines, they are considered a
    potential asset when present in large natural deposits in arctic regions under the permafrost and
    oceanic sediments along the continental margins. Other technological applications of gas hydrates
    include the storage of natural gas and hydrogen. The ability to store natural gas in the form of gas
    hydrate pellets is appealing. particularly for stranded gas applications where the produced gas is too
    small to justify building a liquefied natural gas plant and production is too far away from a pipeline.
    Gas hydrates can also be applied to separation processes including the separation of flue gases and
    desalination of seawater. In the former application, flue gases including carbon dioxide are
    selectively captured in gas hydrates while excluding (totally, or partially in most cases) nitrogen and
    other benign molecules. Natural gas can be effectively and efficiently stored as a gas hydrate. This
    can be achieved through proper study and understanding of the processes involved to convert the
    gas to hydrate and the processes required to prevent the hydrate from dissociating. The storage of
    natural gas as hydrates will require the synthesis of the hydrate and its regasification.
