Gas hydrates resource potential by global regions
Summary Graphic 11:
Gas hydrates resource potential by global regions. This figure includes only that subset of global in-place gas hydrates
that appear to occur at high concentrations in sand-rich reservoirs. Source: Johnson, A. (2011). Global resource potential of gas hydrate – a new
calculation. Proceedings of the 7th Int rnati nal Conference on Gas Hydrates (ICGH 2011), Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, July 17–21, 2011.
