Large national programs in the United States and several Asian countries have defined and
characterised their marine methane hydrate occurrences in some detail, but European …

Deepwater hydrocarbon exploration drilling only began in the Black Sea less than 20 years
ago, primarily because of the economical/technological challenges associated with …

Gas hydrates, a solid established by water and gas molecules, are widespread along the
continental margins of the world. Their dynamics have mainly been regarded through the …

Research on the formation and distribution of submarine channel systems and associated
gas-bearing fluids is of great significance for gas hydrate exploration. Disseminated gas …

Marine methane hydrate is an ice-like substance that is stable in sediment around marine
continental margins where water depths are greater than~ 450–700 m. The release of …

Gas hydrates are one of the largest marine carbon reservoirs on Earth. The conventional
understanding of hydrate dynamics assumes that the system, in the absence of external …

Safe long terms storage of CO2 in the form of hydrate with associated energy production
from hydrate reservoirs is an attractive concept. We propose a scheme for systematic …

One important scientific objective of the national research project SUGAR–Submarine Gas
Hydrate Reservoirs was the development, improvement, and test of innovative concepts for …

Drilling, coring, and geophysical logging were performed with the MARUM-MeBo200
seafloor drilling rig to investigate gas hydrate occurrences of the Danube deep sea fan, off …

The bottom simulating reflection (BSR) is widely observed along continental margins and is
believed to mark the base of gas hydrate stability zone (BGHSZ). In some regions, double or …
