The number serves as the identification for a scientific breakthrough in offshore energy: a new method for recovering associated gas from oilfields using high-gravity equipment to form methane hydrates . The Story of the Deep Blue Harvest
The challenge was speed. Nature takes eons to form these hydrates. To make it a viable solution for an oil rig, the team had to recreate those deep-sea conditions in seconds. They turned to . By using massive centrifuges to create "super-gravity," they were able to force the gas and water together with such intensity that the methane was trapped in molecular cages of ice almost instantly.
The scientists behind envisioned a different future. They looked at the freezing, high-pressure conditions of the deep ocean and saw a natural laboratory. In these depths, methane doesn't just float away; when combined with water under immense pressure, it freezes into a strange, ice-like substance known as methane hydrate , or "fire ice".
