Gas hydrates stability zone thickness map of Indian deep offshore areas - A GIS based approach
Natural gas hydrates, which have the potential of being an alternate energy resource, are known to occur worldwide in the sediments of the outer continental margins and in the polar regions in association with permafrost. The gas hydrates are stable under limited range of temperature and pressure co...

Natural gas hydrates, which have the potential of being an alternate energy resource, are known to occur worldwide in the sediments of the outer continental margins and in the polar regions in association with permafrost. The gas hydrates are stable under limited range of temperature and pressure conditions, which normally exist within few hundred meters of ocean sediments, in water depths greater than about 300 m. For the first time, GIS software has been used to map potential areas for the gas hydrate occurrence in offshore regions and around the Indian sub-continent. This was accomplished by estimating the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) thickness from the saptial analysis of the physical parameters that control the formation and stability of gas hydrates.
