The book explores feasible methods to produce offshore hydrate gas, the means to store and transport the remotely produced gas, new hydrate inhibitors for conventional and hydrate production in ultra-deep waters, instability manifestations of seafloor hydrates, and hydrate roles in complex ecological scenarios. Complementing production and drilling method presentations are computer simulation studies, hydrate field tests, and seismic and logging developments. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOffshore Gas Hydrates\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e delivers a well-developed framework for both the oil and gas researcher and corporate engineer to better exploit this future unconventional resource, empowering the oil and gas professional with the latest data and information on sophisticated challenges that offshore hydrates present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the technical, economic, and environmental problems of producing hydrate gas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the overlooked and unchartered role of microbes in catalyzing offshore hydrate formations with attendant effects on stability\/dissociation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the latest world-wide field tests, research, and case studies involving seafloor hydrates, inclusive of most known hydrate provinces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplays two videos within the e-book only: (1) hydrates, carbonates, chemosynthetic communities, and natural hydrocarbon leakages on the seafloor at the Mississippi Canyon hydrate observatory site; (2) hydrate nucleation, migration and self-packing in a laboratory test cell under the influence of anionic surfactants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtends deep-water hydrate knowledge regarding the hydrate formation and protective cover for microbes within the extreme environment of Mars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149322404080,"sku":"9780128025567","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128025567_p0.jpg?v=1763640745","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128025567","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
