New Model Predicts Arctic Gas Release Risks
4 min read
Scientists from Skoltech and the Keldysh Institute published results in the International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering showing a new model for assessing risks. Researchers found hydrate dissociation begins at, 1.1°C, 1.1°C before ice melting in frozen sand samples. The study validates a computer model against lab data to predict gas emissions and ground subsidence around Arctic oil wells.
