臺灣西南海域永安及好景海脊區之近表層 天然氣水合物賦存潛能 Near-seafloor gas hydrate potential in the Yung-An and Good Weather ridges area, off southwest Taiwan 1 2 3 4 5 6 S.D. Chiu, S.C. Chen, S.K. Hsu, C.H. Tsai, Y.S. Wang, C.S. Liu The area around the Yung-An and the Good Weather ridges is characterized by a series of troughs and anticlinal ridges. The thrusts, fractures and bedding planes provide efficient conduits for fluid to migrate from deep strata to BSR shallower strata and structures. BSRs are widely distributed in the Yung-An and Good Weather ridges area, indicating potential gas hydrate accumulation beneath the seafloor. We conducted deep-towed surveys of sidescan sonar and sub- TowCam bottom profiler, seafloor observations (TowCam and ROV) ROV and resistivity survey to evaluate the near-seafloor gas hydrate potential. Results showed that the study area has gas seeps, pockmarks, mud volcano, mass-transport deposits (MTDs) and minor faults. Because of being highly porous, the MTD is an ideal place for the gas hydrate accumulation. Authigenic carb onates and gas chimney s were ob served on the sea MD3277 seafloor, implying a high methane flux in the area. High resistivity anomalies were found in some pockmarks, MD3277 coring site, and minor faults. The ridges, faults, MTDs, gas chimneys and pockmarks are suitable for near-seafloor gas hydrate accumulation. 關鍵詞： Key words: gas hydrate, gas chimney, gas seep, pockmark 一、前　　言 天然氣水合物及國際間調查研究概況 2040 80% ExxonMobil, 2012 57~67 1 6
