Less than two percent of the abandoned wells in the Dutch part of the North Sea are leaking methane originating from shallow ...

As the world gets hotter, the permafrost melts faster – releasing ever-greater quantities of this dangerous greenhouse gas ... I learned a lot about methane bubbles. narrator: The ice traps ...

On the Gulf of Mexico? The deadly blowout of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as ...

The methane—normally frozen at great pressure as gas hydrates embedded within subterranean rock—can become dislodged and transform into gaseous bubbles expanding geometrically as they explode ...

The flames confirm that the bubbles are methane, the main component of natural gas. By counting and measuring them, Walter Anthony is trying to gauge how much methane is rising from Goldstream ...

Russian researchers have developed an experimental setup that will help simulate gas-dynamic processes and predict explosions ...

These aren't your average lakes. They're called thermokarst lakes and they're filled with highly flammable methane gas. During the summer the gas bubbles to the surface and enters the atmosphere.

When lake ice forms in the winter, methane gas bubbles are trapped in the ice (Photo courtesy of Miriam Jones, USGS). Photos courtesy of Miriam Jones and USGS.

He dons some waders and pokes the sediment with a long stick to release bubbles of methane. He then uses a long hose and a bicycle pump to inflate the balloon with the collected gas. We see him ...

Skoltech researchers have built and successfully tested an experimental setup, unique in Russia, that can simulate gas ...

Off the coast of Chile and Peru, along the entire western length of South America, the seafloor takes a sharp, steep plunge ...
