天然气水合物是一种具有巨大潜在开发价值的海洋新型能源矿产。近 30年来 ,各国相继开展了海洋天然气水合物的勘探和开发技术的研究 ,天然气水合物的勘探技术日趋成熟 ,而开发技术基本上还都处于实验阶段。与国外正在形成的天然气水合物研究热潮相比 ,我国对天然气水合物研究尚处于起步阶段。 Gas hydrate is a new marine energy resource with great potential for development. In recent 30 years, all countries have carried out research on the exploration and development of marine natural gas hydrate, the technology of exploration for natural gas hydrate has matured, and the development technology has basically been in the experimental stage. Compared with the upsurge of emerging gas hydrate research in our country, the study on gas hydrate in our country is still in its infancy.
