Abstract

The aim of Stage 1 of the FNI project GEOHydrate is to prove the hypothesis that gas hydrates deposits (GHDs) create measurable temperature and heat flow (T&HF) anomalies on the seafloor. We use a PetroMod™ model for 98 Ma basin analysis of the Western Black Sea basin, developed in GEOMAR, FRG. The model was run 2 times – with and without GH formation. The resultant difference of the heat flows on the seabed shows average heat flow anomaly above GHDs of 7 mW/m2 and a maximum of 15 mW/m2.
