The gas hydrate resource is a function of host geology, technology, policy and market conditions, and its commercial resource and recovery potential strongly depends on the type of gas hydrate accumulation.

Figure 8.23: Seismic example of marine gas hydrates above a double flat spot. The contrast between the high-velocity hydrate-bearing strata and the low-velocity gas-bearing strata beneath results in the bottom- simulating reflector (BSR). In this example, the gas hydrates act as seals for underlying hydrocarbon reservoirs.
