Vast quantities of natural gas exist as solid hydrates in the world's permafrost and deep sea environments. Because of the complex relations between in situ dissociation and production of the free gas phase actual extraction methods will be technically complicated. A method to circulate warm surface water through a set of injection and withdrawal wells in deep sea hydrate deposits promises some advantages over conventional offshore drilling practices. 22 refs.
