Advances in Studies of Natural Gas Hydrate Dissociation Effects on the Submarine Slope Stability
Abstract：Natural gas hydrate is a new kind of energy attracting more and more attention.Although natural gas hydrate existing in the bottom deposits is a kind of metastable cement,being helpful in the sea floor formation,the helpful action depends on the special and strict conditions of pressure and temperature.Once the equilibrium condition is broken,the natural gas hydrate will be dissociated,which can cause sedimental instability leading to submarine landslide.The paper is giving a brief overview on the recent progress in natural gas hydrate studies of its synthesis,physical properties and the effects of natural gas hydrate dissociation on the slope stability,and the prospect in the future is also discussed.
