Session Description Gas-hydrates have attracted the global attention due to their wide-spread occurrences in the outer continental margins and potential as future energy resources. These are considered to have very high potential (twice the fossil fuel energy potential) in the exclusive economy zones of several Asian countries. AOGS 2007 will provide an attractive locale to discuss various issues related to exploration & exploitation of gas-hydrates, and their role on environment.
