Geochemical study of hydrate-bearing sediments : Impacts of the sediment on the formation mechanisms and the gas storage capacity, and application to the hydrate system of the Romanian sector of the Black Sea.
Natural gas hydrates are widely distributed in both permafrost regions and marine sediments along the continental margins. They represent the largest methane reservoir on earth because of their high gas storage capacity. Societal and environmental concerns surrounding these natural compounds pertain...

Natural gas hydrates are widely distributed in both permafrost regions and marine sediments along the continental margins. They represent the largest methane reservoir on earth because of their high gas storage capacity. Societal and environmental concerns surrounding these natural compounds pertain to the amount of methane they may release and its fate. In-depth knowledge of hydrate formation processes in their natural sedimentary environment are essential to provide reliable answers to these questions. Like most of natural systems, hydrates deposits of the Romanian margin of the Black Sea are encountered in clayey sediments. However, the mechanisms of hydrate formation in such complex matrices are still poorly understood. Moreover, recent studies in this area showed that a progressive influx of salt water into the sediments triggered the destabilization of shallow gas hydrates, releasing methane in the water column.This PhD project proposes to improve our understanding of the distribution processes of gas hydrates in the clayey sediments of the Romanian sector, and to assess the amount of methane stored in these accumulations. It is based on a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach.
