Absolutely, the reason why I am asking this problem has less to do if we can find methane in gas form, but its more of if one finds a gas that far down in ocean what would be the best way to bring it upto ground level. I just took example of methane gas as I thought it would make the problem more realistic.
My query is simple: the pressure difference on the pipe between ground level and 27000ft is a big number, can one rely on just this pressure difference for the gas(any gas) to go to ground level by itself? or would one have to use suction equipments. If we can rely on pressure difference for gas movement what are some possible ways to predict the volumetric speed of gas at the end of the pipe above the ocean.
I will keep my future questions on one page in the future.
Thank you all for your for your valuable time and wisdom. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
