| contents | Bathymetry based on data recorded during MSM34-2 between 27.12.2013 and 18.01.2014 in the Black Sea. The main objective of this cruise was the mapping and imaging of the gas hydrate distribution and gas accumulations as well as possible gas migration pathways. Objectives of Cruise: Gas hydrates have been the focus of scientific and economic interest for the past 15-20 years, mainly because the amount of carbon stored in gas hydrates is much greater than in other carbon reservoirs. Several countries including Japan, Korea and India have launched vast reasearch programmes dedicated to the exploration for gas hydrate resources and ultimately the exploitation of the gas hydrates for methane. The German SUGAR project that is financed the the Ministry of Education and Research (BmBF) and the Ministry of Economics (BmWi) aims at developing technology to exploit gas hydrate resources by injecting and storing CO2 instead of methane in the hydrates. This approach includes techniques to locate and quantify hydrate reservoirs, drill into the reservoir, extract methane from the hydrates by replacing it with CO2, and monitor the thus formed CO2-hydrate reservoir. Numerical modeling has shown that any exploitation of the gas hydrates can only be succesful, if sufficient hydrate resources are present within permeable reservoirs such as sandy or gravelly deposits. The ultimate goal of the SUGAR project being a field test of the technology developed within the project, knowledge of a suitable test site becomes crucial. Within European waters only the Norwegian margin and the Danube deep-sea fan show clear geophysical evidence for large gas hydrate accumulations, but only the Danube deep-sea fan most likely contains gas hydrates within sandy deposits. The main objective of cruise MSM34 therefore is locating and characterising suitable gas hydrate deposits on the Danube deep-sea fan. |
