Description
Summary:First successful pilot test to produce methane from submarine gas hydrate field in the East Nankai trough offshore Japan has resumed practical interest to develop giant methane hydrate potential of the World Ocean and the Black Sea basin as well. The paper features geological aspects and technological problems of submarine gas hydrates exploitation and discuss methanehydrate potential assessment and promising exploration prospects in the Ukrainian part of the basin. The recommendations to methane hydrates development in the Black Sea are given.
