Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri shared on Twitter that natural gas has been discovered in the Sri Vijayapuram 2 well located in the Andaman Sea. This well is situated about 17 kilometers (9.20 nautical miles) off the eastern coast of the Andaman Islands. The water depth of the well is 295 meters, meaning it is located in waters that are 295 meters deep from the sea surface. The target depth for drilling was set at 2,650 meters.

In a recent study, scientists have hinted that secret alien life is hiding in the methane present on Saturn's largest moon Titan. Titan is a celestial body which has an atmosphere filled with surface liquids and methane in the form of lakes, rivers and seas which are similar to those present on Earth.

Scientists have so far only been able to find inconsistent or indirect signs of waves on Titan's surface. But now, Geologists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have studied Titan's shorelines to discover that the waves are likely the reason behind the shaping of large seas of the moon.

Waves of methane are eroding the coasts of Titan, Saturn's largest moon

NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover has made the most surprising revelation that methane is seeping from the surface of Gale Crater. Since scientists did not find any signs of current or ancient life on Mars, they did not expect the gas to be present there, as living creatures produce most methane.

Carbon dioxide, the most important and plentiful greenhouse gas produced by humans, increased by the third most in 65 years of record keeping in 2023, according to NOAA on Friday. Scientists are especially concerned about the rapid increase in atmospheric quantities of methane, a shorter-lived but more potent heat-trapping gas. Watch to know more.

Scientists express concern over rapid rise in levels of methane

Oil and gas operations across the United States are spewing more than 6 million tons per year of methane. It is the main component of natural gas and the most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Watch to know more!

US ranks as top emitter of Methane from fossil fuels

The MethaneSAT satellite has been launched into space. The satellite is backed by Alphabet Inc's Google and the Environmental Defense Fund Group. MethaneSAT satellite has a mission to pinpoint oil and gas industry methane emissions from space.

In the North Sea's depths, small depressions, seemingly formed by leaking methane, have puzzled researchers for years. However, recent findings propose an unexpected explanation: these pits might be the handiwork of foraging porpoises, challenging long-held assumptions about the sea's geological features.

'Porpoise-ful' mistake: Porpoises, not methane, may be responsible for mysterious pits in North Sea

The floating "magic islands" of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, have long intrigued scientists. But a new study now seems to clear the air over these islands and what constitutes them.

'Magic islands' on Titan look like Swiss cheese. They are simply snow clusters

Scientists have warned that the Arctic has hidden beneath its frozen ground a methane monster that is threatening to show its ugly head. Scientists are still unaware of how big the threat is and who will suffer the most, however, what remains clear is that the permanently frozen soil – which is called permafrost – has been melting amid increasing temperatures and further threatening to release massive amounts of methane, which is an extremely potent fossil fuel, from its icy prison.

Scientists warn methane monster lurking beneath Arctic's frozen ground

In a major discovery, NASA has found methane on a distant exoplanet, which made it important to be closely observed. But why is methane such an important discovery?

Scientists have discovered a submarine volcano near Norway’s Bear Island, or Bjørnøya, in the Barents Sea, which continuously spews methane and mud. The scientists also revealed that the volcano was located inside a giant crater, which probably formed following a large explosion at the end of the last ice age.

Scientists discover rare methane-spewing underwater volcano in Norwegian waters

Skyroot Aerospace, the Indian firm that launched the country's first privately-built rocket has now announced a new milestone - the test firing of a 3-D printed Cryogenic Engine for a duration of 200 seconds.

An Italy-based company is stepping up to replace pollution-causing diesel tractors with one that completely runs on methane, usually sourced from animal waste such as cow dung in a large farm.

Cow dung as fuel source? THIS tractor presents alternative to polluting diesel farm vehicles

Weeks after the EU promised at the COP27 climate conference to do more to combat the potent greenhouse gas, papers show some EU member states are attempting to undercut the bloc's planned regulation to curb methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.
