Energy Department Seeks Methane Hydrate Proposals

The experiment in 30 days of production captured nearly 1 million cubic feet (30,000 cubic meters) of methane. Researchers concluded that a sizeable portion of the injected gas interacted with the methane hydrate.

The objective of the new DOE solicitation is to stimulate research that industry is not likely to pursue on its own accord in the next two to three years.

In Alaska, the department wants field studies to evaluate extended response of methane accumulations to destabilization by lowering the pressure or other approaches.

The "marine hydrate characterization" solicitation is looking for field programs that will collect data and samples such as drilling cores.

Applications are due May 22.
