Re: What is Liquidfied Natural Gas

According to a U.S. Department of Energy Gas Hydrate Analysis , U.S.
gas hydrate resources alone exceed 200,000 TCF (Trillion Cubic Feet).
And global natural gas energy from gas hydrates may well exceed
500,000 TCF.

More recent data suggests, however, that actual global gas hydrate
resources may be more in the range of about 25,000 TCF to 135,000 TCF
as indicated in this Gas Energy From Methane Clathrate discussion from
Wikipedia (Note: For consistency and simplicity sake I translated the
Wikipedia numbers from metric scientific notation measurements into
the TCF figures above).

That still far exceeds known, proved natural gas energy reserves of
about 6,000 TCF. It also far exceeds the total known natural gas
energy from all sources other than gas hydrates of about 13,000 TCF.

To say that gas hydrates are a vast natural gas energy resource is a
vast understatement.

Though recovering and bringing this form of natural gas energy to
market will prove challenging, it is a challenge that must be met. The
incredible size of these deposits holds the promise of energy supplies
that can last well beyond this century.
