Methane hydrates could become a promising new energy source in countries such as China and Japan which have large reserves of the hydrate. The key mission is to find a safe and efficient exploitation method. The exploitation processes could cause stress changes, which may induce submarine landslides and failures of engineering projects. This chapter described some state-of-art exploitation methods reproduced in the laboratory and in numerical modeling procedures aimed at understanding the responses of soils during the exploitation process. These studies could provide valuable guidance for real life projects related to mining methane hydrates.
