This paper reviews the unconventional hydrocarbon energy scenario in the major energy consuming economies, including China, the United States of America, India and Japan. Even though policies are adopted to promote nuclear and renewable energy sources, they cannot immediately replace conventional hydrocarbon resources, and hence, unconventional hydrocarbon resources need to be exploited. The strategies...
Technology is the key enabler in the effective exploration and exploitation of ocean resources, such as minerals, gas hydrates and ocean energy, which are available in abundance in India. This paper describes the strategic technologies developed by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), namely in-situ sea bed soil tester, crawler based polymetallic nodule mining machine, deep water unmanned...
Gas hydrates are considered to be one of the promising future sources of energy. The amount of methane sequestered in gas hydrates is enormous. Estimates show that the methane stored in the form of gas-hydrates is in the order of ∼1900 trillion cubic meters within the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone. Under the aegis of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, the National Institute of Ocean...
