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.
