The potential of offshore deposits of methane hydrates as energy resource is discussed. The efforts to develop methods that would make production of methane from hydrate both technologically feasible and economically viable are also presented. Methane hydrate is a very efficient storehouse of energy, and when dissociated, a single cubic foot of solid hydrate releases as much as 180 cubic feet of methane gas. Work at the Mallik site in the Canadian Arctic has established that production of methane from hydrates is technologically feasible. The US national methane hydrate research program is now performing field and laboratory studies designed to accelerate the commercially viable production of methane from hydrate in Alaska.
