天然气水合物冷泉和气泡羽状流研究进展

Progress on cold seeps and bubble plumes produced by gas hydrate

近些年来,天然气水合物的调查研究及勘探开发都取得了一定进展,但针对与天然气水合物相关的海底冷泉和气泡羽状流(或羽状水体)的研究报道较少.为了更好地进行天然气水合物基础研究,本文首先简要总结了天然气水合物的发展状况;然后阐述了与天然气水合物相关的冷泉和气泡羽状流的发展状况,天然气水合物羽状流识别技术情况,以及地震识别水合物的发展现状;最后针对气泡羽状流提出天然气水合物的研究方向和科学问题,为水合物的识别和勘查提供新的线索和思路.

In recent years, survey and exploration for gas hydrate have made some progress, whereas few studies have been carried out to cold seeps and bubble plumes or plume water related to gas hydrate. In order to better carry out basis research on gas hydrate, this paper first summarized some advances in gas hydrate. Then, some progress were expatiated on cold seeps and bubble plumes related to gas hydrate, recognition techniques for gas hydrate plumes, and seismic identification of gas hydrate. Finally, the research direction and scientific problems of gas hydrate were presented for bubble plumes. It provided new clues and ideas for the recognition and exploration of gas hydrate.
