“…Deville et al [45] in studies of mud volcanism in the Trinidad-Barbados area, also noted the presence of bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) on seismic cross sections and alluded that these were as a result of gas hydrate bearing sediments. Subsequent detailed analysis of three-dimensional (3D) seismic data from eastern offshore also showed the presence of several positive indicators which suggest that natural gas hydrates are present in the oceanic sediments [46]. The dataset covered an area of transition between the continental shelf and slope in the Columbus Basin.…”

Over the last decade global natural gas consumption has steadily increased since many industrialized countries are substituting natural gas for coal to generate electricity. There is also significant industrialization and economic growth of the heavily populated Asian countries of India and China. The general consensus is that there are vast quantities of natural gas trapped in hydrate deposits in geological systems, and this has resulted in the emerging importance of hydrates as a potential energy resource and an accompanying proliferation of recent studies on the technical and economic feasibility of gas production from hydrates. There are then the associated environmental concerns. This study reviews the state of knowledge with respect to natural gas hydrates and outlines remaining challenges and knowledge gaps.
