Gas Hydrates on Alaska's North Slope
Host: Jessica Robertson
Tagged: energy GasHydrates

The USGS estimates that there are 85.4 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable gas from natural gas hydrates on the Alaskan North Slope. This is the first-ever resource estimate of technically recoverable natural gas hydrates in the world.

This assessment shows that gas hydrates could add significantly to the U.S. energy mix. The Alaskan North Slope holds one of the nation’s largest deposits of technically recoverable natural gas.

USGS Director Mark Myers and USGS scientist Timothy Collett discuss the assessment and its results.
