Abstract
C30 THERMAL METHOD OF GAS HYDRATE FIELDS DEVELOPMENT Abstract 1 Gas hydrates are naturally occurring solid compounds of water and gas that are considered as alternative for conventional energy in the near future. In accordance with the latest estimations potential reserves of gas in hydrates in the world exceed conventional ones in many times. Taking into account instability of oil prices gas hydrates could play a great role in world’s energy balance. Gas hydrate field development technology of using the deep subterranean thermal water heat of underlying bed has been proposed. The 3D mathematical decomposition model has been developed. It
