Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline substances that form a
rigid cage of water molecules and entrap hydrocarbon and
non-hydrocarbon gas by hydrogen bonding. Natural gas hydrate is
primarily composed of water and methane. These are solid,
crystalline, ice-like substances found in permafrost areas and
deepwater basins around the world. They naturally occur in the pore
space of marine sediments, where appropriate high pressure and low
temperature conditions exist in an adequate supply of gas (mainly
methane). Gas hydrates are considered as a potential non
conventional energy resource. Methane hydrates are also recognized
as, an influence on offshore platform stability, a major factor in
climate change contributing to global warming and a significant
contribution to the ocean carbon cycle. The proposed book treats
various geophysical techniques in order to quantify the gas hydrate
reserves and their impact on environment. The primary goal of this
book is to provide the state of art for gas hydrate exploration.
The target audiences for this book are non-specialist from
different branches of science, graduate students and
researchers.
