Abstract
This paper presents a general review of gas hydrate knowledge, the utilization of such knowledge in the natural gas industry, some contemplated uses of gas hydrates in sea water desalinization, and discusses the existence of natural gas hydrates under the permafrost of the Northern Hemisphere. The theory of how gases enter the water phase and cause premature crystallization of water into an ice-like hydrate structure is presented. With this background, hydrate formation in ocean sediments is considered.
