Abstract
The stability of gas hydrate is dependent on pressure (P), temperature (7), and the solubility of gas (e. g., Handa, 1990; Zatsepina and Buffett, 1997) as a function of pressure and temperature in the system. As illustrated in Chapter 1, the stability of hydrate is more susceptible to changes in temperature than pressure. Measurements that constrain thermal regimes in hydrate reservoirs therefore provide fundamental information about one of the most basic parameters controlling the stability of the deposits.
