Abstrakt: Focuses on the methane hydrate stability zone beneath Sverdrup Basin underneath the Canadian Arctic Islands. Analysis of the distribution of methane hydrate and hydrate/gas contact suggesting that methane hydrates were formed in shallower strata than expected; How a small proportion of gas hydrate occurrences occur in close proximity to the base of predicted methane hydrate stability; Association of detected hydrates with deeply buried hydrocarbon discoveries indicating the concurring relationship of hydrate occurrence with areas of high heat flow; View that other gas hydrate occurrences are associated with structures filled with water with evidence of precursor hydrocarbons that were lost because of upward leakage.
