Deep sea mining: an explainer

The video tutorial explains the extraction and processing of natural gas off the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia. It describes the dimensions and location of the extraction unit, which is anchored offshore. The unit liquefies natural gas by freezing it to -162°C without bringing it ashore. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) is then transported back to land by carrier vessels.

Where will the extraction unit be located?

• Malaysia

• Indonesia

• Thailand

• Vietnam

How far off the coast of Sarawak will the unit be located?

• 100 kilometers

• 150 kilometers

• 180 kilometers

• 200 kilometers

What is the width of the extraction unit?

• 50 meters

• 60 meters

• 70 meters

• 80 meters

What temperature is the natural gas frozen to?

• Minus 150 degrees Celsius

• Minus 162 degrees Celsius

• Minus 170 degrees Celsius

• Minus 180 degrees Celsius

What will happen to the liquefied natural gas after it is produced?

• It will be stored on land

• It will be transported by Carrier vessels

• It will be used immediately

• It will be discarded
