【Abstract】 In the South China Sea and the East China Sea, there exist favorable dynamic conditions and abundant hydrocarbon sources for forming hydrate. According to the long term observations of anomalously increased sea surface temperature scanned by satellite based thermal infrared, and the investigations of the gas geochemistry of bottom water, the authigenic minerals and the fluid composition, it was concluded that there exist strong degassing and hydrocarbon fluid activities in the submarine. The main composition of submarine gas in the southern and northern continental slopes of the South China Sea is CH 4, mainly biogenic for the southern slope and thermogenic for the northern slope. The gas of hydrothermal sedimentary region of the Okinawa Trough that is a part of the East China Sea, consists of 86% of CO 2 and 14% of CH 4, H 2, and H 2S; CO 2 is possibly from magma fluid and the other components are from decomposition activities of the land organic substance. The seismic geophysical studies were concentrated in northeastern, northern, southern slopes of the South China Sea and the southern Okinawa Trough. BSR marks show up in many places, but only for some areas of the northeast active continental margin and of the north passive continental margin the existence of BSR is rather credible and the investigation work has been done adequately. On the basis of studies of the hydrocarbon gases and the radioactive thermoluminescence in the sediments, the South and the East China Sea are divided into 6 geochemical anomalous regions. By synthetically comparing the geophysical, geochemical and geothermal data, we have preliminarily confirmed that: the Bijia’nan (Ⅰ), the Taixi’nan Dongsha (Ⅱ) anomalous regions are the most optimistically potential regions for gas hydrate formation; the Qiongdongnan Xisha Trough (Ⅲ), the Zhongjiannan Zhongyebei (Ⅳ) regions and the south part of Okinawa Trough (Ⅵ) are favorable for exploring hydrate, oil and gas; the Ⅲ and Ⅵ regions are more favorable for hydrate; the Ⅳ region is more favorable for traditional oil and gas. Generally speaking, the investigation work of Nansha area is far from adequate, but for the Nansha Trough Basin therein, the geophysical and geochemical anomalies are quite good for gas hydrate, which are worthy of further study. For the ODP 184 1144 site in the Taixi’n Dongsha potential region the depth of the gas anomaly and the pore water chlorinity anomaly are consistent with the BSR, which predicts the existence of gas hydrate.更多还原
