INTEGRATED GAS HYDRATE QUANTIFICATION OFF NICOYA PENINSULA – COSTA RICA

The global estimates of methane stored in gas hydrates varied from 1018 to 1015 m3 over the last 4
decades. Each geoscientific discipline has its own quantification methods. The aim of the
presented project is the combination of a well proven geochemical approach with a geophysical
approach. A transfer function is presented which allows estimations based on geochemical and
geophysical parameters. A first application of this combined approach has been performed along
seismic line BGR99-44 off Costa Rica. The resulting concentration profile shows a differentiated
distribution of the gas hydrate concentration along the slope of the margin with variations of 0 to
3 vol.% of pore space.
