6 Gas hydrate A relatively new discovery, first found in nature in 1980 Ratio of 1/6 CH 4 /H 2 O CH 4 /H 2 O volumetric ratio of 164 when dissociated at standard T and P Addition of ethane, propane and butane yield additional hydrate stability ~10% Can be formed from either biogenic microbial methane or thermogenic petro-genic methane. Often found at seep sites ---- Hydrocarbon seeps are natural springs where liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons leak out of the subsurface
7 Gas Hydrate Found in places of 1.low temperature 2.high pressures 3.high CH 4
8 Why do we study hydrates? Methane hydrates represent a future energy resource (if it can be extracted). Methane is a strong greenhouse gas Hydrates have been suggested to have a role in the control of past climates and may affect future climate. Geo-hazard hydrates can destabilize continental slopes and cause submarine slumping

16 The Iġnik Sikumi #1 well is a field trial of a potential gas hydrate production technology that utilizes the injection of CO2 into gas hydrate-bearing sandstone reservoirs, resulting in a chemical exchange reaction that releases methane gas (CH4) while simultaneously sequestering CO2 in a solid hydrate structure as CO2-hydrate.
17
18 Nankai Trough Started the flow test and confirmed gas production: March 12, 2013 Ended the flow test: March 18, 2013 Gas flowed 5 days, pipe clogged with sand. Methane hydrate in place, the amount equivalent to approximately 40tcf or approximately 1.1trillion m 3 of methane in the eastern Nankai trough. Equivalent to eleven years of the amount of LNG imported into Japan.

43 Gas Hydrate Stability?
44 Effect on Climate Ice core records show that atmospheric methane concentrations are tightly correlated with temperature over the past 800,000 years. When methane is elevated in the atmosphere, climate is warmer. Massive gas hydrate dissociation may have been an positive feedback factor during hyperthermals such as the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).
