Minerals Report - International Seabed Authority

The value of the non-living resources in the ELCS regions depends on
the technological developments that will allow their extraction and
production. Because of this, with perhaps the exception of conventional gas
and oil, and possibly gas hydrates, many resources on the ELCS will remain
uncompetitive with onshore resources.
