OK, the article indicates that the methane hydrate is at the bottom of
the Gulf, that is being formed from ice water at the bottom, and gas
from below. I thought you were saying that it was coming up from the
well, where the oil temperature is likely well over 100 degrees.
If you wish to discuss this further, please do so on the OT list, where
most other responses have moved. I posted the original article here by
mistake.

Are you sure there are methane hydrates there? They require
temperatures below freezing, and we are talking about the Gulf.
Although ocean temperatures drop as you go deeper, crust
temperatures increase, normally at a nominal 1 degree per 100 feet
as you go down. That is 52 degrees per mile increase in
temperature. I don't see how it could be possible to have hydrate
with that deep hole.
