ScienceRussian scientists calculate how to make Arctic energy extraction safer

Russian mathematicians and geologists found that one-sided heating causes methane hydrates in frozen rock to decompose before the ice begins to melt. The findings could help improve the safety of Arctic resource extraction by accounting for the earlier formation of gas-release zones near wells.
