Mass-Wasting Induced Shifts of the Base of the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone: Examples From the Offshore Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria
Muslim B. Aminu
Abstract:Mass-wasting episodes lead to significant changes in the pressure and temperature regimes within shallow marine sediments and induce variations in the thickness of the gas hydrate stability zone. These variations are marked by vertical migrations of bottom-simulating reflections that typically mark the base of the hydrate zone. Using exploration seismic data from the Offshore Niger Delta, this study presents two examples involving the vertical migration of the base of the gas hydrate stability zones induced by… Show more
