Disassociated gas hydrates in the water column at Hydrate Ridge. Video courtesy of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). What are methane gas hydrates? Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada discusses the state of the art in technology and provides an explanation of the breakthrough research on methane gas hydrates at the Mallik Site. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada. Where do methane gas hydrates occur? A short visual presentation of the locations of hydrate sites around the World. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Research began on the Mallik drill site¨with team members from 5 countries in 1998. The result is record-breaking production testing and successful extraction of methane gas from hydrates. Hear more from Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada. How does the natural environment at the Mallik site effect drilling? Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada explains the process of drilling down to a depth of 900-1100 m through 600 m permafrost. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada. A short clip about accessing the Mallik site in winter, narrated by Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada. Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada describes the unique environment of the Mackenzie Delta. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada. The 2008 Mallik production testing produced an output of 13,000 cubic meters of natural gas. Find out more about this second winter of testing here. Video courtesy of Geological Survey of Canada. Scott Dallimore of Natural Resources Canada describes the energy potential of methane gas hydrates. Video courtesy of the Geological Survey of Canada. Waters surrounding Japan are thought to host large amounts of natural gas in the form of hydrates. For a country relying almost completely on imported energy, this discovery of national importance.
