This road map anticipates that continuing rapid progress in the engineering geology and production technologies required for hydrates extraction, both internationally and in New Zealand, that will allow the commercial production of energy from marine hydrate to become realisable in the near-to- medium term.enAll Rights ReservedAn Options Analysis for the Commercial and Economic Development of Offshore Methane Hydrates as a Future Energy Option for New ZealandAuthored Books09 Engineering
