“…Seafloor pockmarks and gas chimneys along the ridge are linked to faults and fractures (Plaza‐Faverola et al, ; Singhroha et al, ). Considering the suggested presence of thermogenic gas (Panieri et al, ; Plaza‐Faverola et al, ; Smith et al, ) in the study area, the study of fault/fracture systems is even more important as thermogenic gases have deeper origins (often below the GHSZ) and structural features affect the migration pathways of thermogenic gases. Faults at deeper depths in this region can be potential fluid migration pathways for deep sourced warm fluids (Knies et al, ; Dumke et al, ; Waghorn et al, ), whereas faults at the shallower depths within the GHSZ can be migration pathways or can also act as seals, as they can potentially be plugged with gas hydrates (Goswami et al, ; Madrussani et al, ).…”
