Experience in Using Near Surface Seismic Survey for Mapping The Roof of Rock in Various Seismological Conditions

Summary Gas hydrates (clathrates) are crystalline compounds that form when water forms a cellular structure around smaller gas molecules. The tendency of the depletion of traditional resources and the unprofitableness of their development due to a decrease in production rate actualizes the issue of the development of gas hydrate deposits. The idea of using microwave heating to extract gas hydrates overlying a field under development suggests that the development of this type of hydrocarbon will be the most profitable. For the production of gas hydrates, two methods can be combined: reduction (depletion) of pressure in the reservoir and heating of the bottomhole zone due to microwave heating.The first method will create conditions for the decomposition of gas hydrate into gas and water. The microwave heating method will allow maintaining the required temperature of the gas hydrate. The considered methods of developing the Turonian gas hydrate deposits make it possible to operate them together with the Cenomanian gas condensate field.
