When natural gas and water are contacted at low temperature and high pressure, gas hydrates can form. In colder climates (such as Alaska, Northern Canada, and Russian Siberia) and beneath the earth's oceans, conditions are appropriate for gas hydrate formation. This paper gives the depths and potential thickness of such hydrate formations as a function of the geothermal gradient, the gas composition, and where appropriate, the permafrost thickness, the pressure gradient, and the ocean bottom temperature.
