    Natural gas hydrates could enable the safe, sustainable, and economical production of offshore petroleum reserves. Gas hydrates are a concentrated form of frozen methane bounded with water that exist in large reserves worldwide, more than coal, oil, and gas combined. An operational concept presented in the paper involves filling containers with gas hydrates near production surfaces, raising the containers to the surface, and towing them to shore for a cost effective and environmentally sustainable method of offshore production.
