Gas HydrateGas hydrates is ice-like crystalline solid

composed of water and natural gas.Most of gas found in gas hydrates is methane.

Gas hydrate occurrence can be divided into two regions: Marine and Pemafrost environment.

It needs high pressure and low temperature to be developed

Its existence can be detected by the occurrence of a bottom-simulating reflector (BSR) in the seismic image.

SumaryGas hydrate is promising future energy

of the world.Some countries has done studies in gas

hydrate intensively. Indonesia needs to start doing research in gas hydrate as well.

The existence of gas hydrate may cause some problems such as global warming and slope instability.
