Methane hydrates and Unconventional oil and gas

Energy flows from methane hydrates to unconventional oil and gas.

Methane hydrates (energy) and Unconventional oil and gas (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Methane hydrates → Unconventional oil and gas

Pilot wells depressurise frozen hydrates to free their methane.

  • 100% of Methane hydrates's energy goes this way
