A Preliminary Study of the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone in the South China Sea
Abstract Based on the analysis of sea‐bottom temperature and geothermal gradient, and by means of the phase boundary curve of gas hydrate and the sea‐bottom temperature versus water depth curve in the South China Sea, this paper studies the temperature and pressure conditions for gas hydrate to keep...
