Geological Controls for Gas Hydrates and Unconventionals

Geological Controls for Gas Hydrate Formations covers all aspects of gas hydrate exploration from data acquisition to processing and interpretation in a single reference, presenting the geological characteristics for gas hydrate formations, gas hydrate tectonics, rock properties, sedimentation patterns for gas hydrate distribution, and methods of improved characterization.

This book answers basic questions regarding quantities, distributions, modes of occurrence, physical and chemical properties, and more- in essence, all the information that is necessary to improve models for the precision prediction of the enigma of gas hydrates and the system.

The book serves as a focal point for geoscientists conducting research that focuses on the geological techniques for quantification of this next-generation, unconventional energy source.
