Abstract

Geological factors controlling the formation, stability, and distribution of gas hydrates in the Timor Trough region were investigated by basin analysis. Geological, geophysical, and geochemical data from the region were assembled and evaluated to determine the relationships of geological environments and gas hydrates. The Timor Trough is located between the Indonesian island of Timor and the northwest margin of Australia. The floor of the Timor Trough is 1800 m to 3400 m deep and ranges in width from 3 to 20 km. The trough extends for about 600 km. The Timor Trough is part of the Banda Arc system; it is bounded to the west by the Java Trench and the Aru Basin to the east. 36 refs., 26 figs., 2 tabs.

Geological evolution and analysis of confirmed or suspected gas hydrate localities: Volume 13: Basin analysis, formation and stability of gas hydrates of the Nankai Trough: Topical report

Technical Report Ciesnik, M.; Krason, J.

Geological factors controlling the formation, stability, and distribution of gas hydrates were investigated by basin analysis of the Nankai Trough region. The Nankai Trough is located beneath the western Pacific, south of the Japanese islands Shikoku and central Kyushu. Geological, geophysical, and geochemical data from the region were assembled and critically evaluated to develop consistent interpretations of the relationships of geological environments and gas hydrates. This study was performed for the US Department of Energy Morgantown Energy Technology Center by Geoexplorers International, Inc., as part of a worldwide evaluation of 21 offshore sites where the presence of gas hydrates hasmore »« less

Arc-continent collision in Banda Sea region

Journal Article Bowin, C; Purdy, G; Johnston, C; ... - Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol. Bull.; (United States)

A 2-month marine geophysical study of the Banda arc region was conducted in late 1976 using the R/V Atlantis II of WHOI' and the R/V Thomas Washington of SIO; 19 seismic refraction lines were successfully completed. Oceanic crust underlies the Banda Sea and Weber Deep. Continental crust 35 to 40 km thick underlies the Australian Shelf. Thick continental crust is also present beneath the Timor and Aru Troughs. Low-amplitude magnetic anomalies are present over the Australian Shelf and extend to near the western edge of the Banda outer arc and, together with the presence of metamorphic rocks, suggest that continentalmore »« less
Geological evolution and analysis of confirmed or suspected gas hydrate localities: Volume 10, Basin analysis, formation and stability of gas hydrates of the Aleutian Trench and the Bering Sea

Technical Report Krason, J; Ciesnik, M

Four major areas with inferred gas hydrates are the subject of this study. Two of these areas, the Navarin and the Norton Basins, are located within the Bering Sea shelf, whereas the remaining areas of the Atka Basin in the central Aleutian Trench system and the eastern Aleutian Trench represent a huge region of the Aleutian Trench-Arc system. All four areas are geologically diverse and complex. Particularly the structural features of the accretionary wedge north of the Aleutian Trench still remain the subjects of scientific debates. Prior to this study, suggested presence of the gas hydrates in the four areasmore »« less

Geological evolution and analysis of confirmed or suspected gas hydrate localities

Technical Report Finley, P; Krason, J

We investigated the relationship of geological environments on gas hydrate formation and stability by basin analysis of gas hydrate sites. Basin analyses were performed on 21 offshore locations with direct or indirect evidence of gas hydrates. Extensive geological investigations were conducted for each study region comprising one or more gas hydrate locations. Sediment composition, provenance, and depositional history were documented for each study region. Structural development of the sedimentary basin was determined using drilling results and seismic reflection profiles. Potential for generation of biogenic methane and conventional thermogenic hydrocarbons was assessed by analysis of existing geochemical data and by thermalmore »« less

Geological factors controlling the formation, stability, and distribution of gas hydrates of the Beaufort Sea region were investigated by basin analysis. Geological, geophysical, and geochemical data from the region were assembled and evaluated to determine the relationships of geological environments and gas hydrates. The Beaufort Sea is the southern part of the Arctic Ocean offshore of the North Slope of Alaska and the Yukon and Mackenzie districts of Canada. The Beaufort Sea study region extends northward from the Arctic coasts of Alaska and Canada between Point Barrow on the west to Cape Beaufort on the east. The northern boundary ofmore »« less
