Abstract:
The invention provides a method and system for extracting stranded gas (such as natural gas or hydrogen) or a mixture of oil and natural gas from a subterranean environment such as beneath the ocean floor and converting it into a solid hydrate such as a clathrate featuring a) extracting stranded gas (such as natural gas or hydrogen) or a mixture of oil and natural gas; b) optionally separating the natural gas from the mixture of oil and natural gas in a first tank or vessel; c) transporting the stranded gas to a second tank or vessel; d) introducing sea water into the second tank or vessel; e) mixing the stranded gas and water to form a clathrate hydrate/water slurry; f) removing excess water from the clathrate hydrate slurry to form a solid comprising a clathrate hydrate; and g) processing the solid comprising a clathrate hydrate into a transportable form; and h) optionally collecting the gas into a transportable vessel.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for extracting natural gas from a hydrocarbon reservoir of oil and gas in a subterranean environment comprising the steps of\n (a) optionally drilling a well into the ocean floor to extract hydrocarbons as a natural gas or oil and natural gas mixture; (b) extracting hydrocarbons as a natural gas or oil and natural gas mixture; (b) separating oil from the natural gas in a separator; (c) optionally transporting, pumping or piping the oil to the ocean surface; (d) cleaning the natural gas of debris; (e) transporting, pumping or piping the natural gas into a gas/clathrate hydrate processing facility; (f) transforming the natural gas so that it forms solid hydrates; (g) assembling the solid hydrates into a shipping container suitable for transporting the solid hydrates to the ocean surface.
