Abstrakt: Heat flow calculation is a reliable method to estimate the vibration about temperature, main factors of the existence of marine gas hydrates below seafloor. It would increase the accuracy of resources volume estimating and reduce cost of exploration significantly. Depth of Bottom Simulating Reflectors (BSRs), known as the base of gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ), is a critical variable in this calculation. It should be recognized and mapped using the good quality three-dimensional (3D) pre-stack migration seismic data. By introducing heat flow derived from the depths of BSRs, this method would improve the resolution of the profiles and the quality of imaging and can be used in the specific areas.
