Unconventional Resources in India: The Way Ahead

Abstract

The existence of natural gas hydrate system in the earth crust is both a boon and a bane to the technological advancement in the oil and gas industry. At one stage the properties, parameters associated with the hydrate formation, and their characteristics to exist in the hydrate structure formed by transition of free bound water molecules at high pressure and low temperature condition pave the way to new technological advancement. At another stage these hydrate create problem when they choke the oil and gas flow lines. But these hydrates system is among those unconventional resource of energy that is present in huge deposits in permafrost regions. It is roughly estimated that the total natural gas reserves in these gas hydrate is almost the double of all the fossil fuel reserves available around the world.
