ts ca and temperature changes can lead to hydrate dissociation and gas exsolution. Pressure core technology drate controls on gas hydrate occurrence offshore of the Indian Peninsula Land in East Antarctica with the northern margin of “Greater India” along the western margin of Australia (Bastia and Nayak, 2006; Krishna et al., 2000). The KrishnaeGodavari Basin came into exis-tence following rifting along eastern continental margin of Indian by the GangeseBrahmaputra River system, resulting in the devel-8e10 km of sedi-established in the tion in the Krish-iments, with little sediments (Basu, tems in the Krish-organic matter in n has led to the fields in the basin (Banerjie et al., 1994). However, the gas hy-drates sampled during NGHP-01 contain mostly methane derived from microbial sources (Collett et al., 2008). For the most part, gas hydrate formation in the Krish-naeGodavari Basin has developed by grain-displacement processes and has yielded gas hydrate in the form of nodules, veins, and lenses (Rees et al., 2011); this hydrate morphology is inherently caused by high capillary forces associated with the hydrateewater * Corresponding author.
