天然气水合物研究进展

Progress in Study of Natural Gas Hydrates

本文介绍了天然气水合物研究的历史和现状，天然气水合物的结构，它在冻土地带和海洋底部地表层的形成过程，它对石油天然气工业的影响以及抑制生成天然气水合物的方法。介绍了天然气水合物作为潜在能源的巨大优势以及它对地球气候变化——温室效应的潜在危险性。

This paper introduced the history and the recent progress of natural gas hydrates, their formation in both permafrost and sea submarine, their impact on oil/gas industry, and the way of inhibiting their formation. Natural gas hydrates may play an important role as potential source of energy and also may be harmful to global climate change, i.e., enhancing the greenhouse effect.
