摘要

Abstract

The large deep-sea area from the southwestern Qiongdongnan Basin to the eastern Dongsha Islands

within the continental margin of northern South China Sea

is a frontier of natural gas hydrate exploration in China. Multiform of deep-sea sedimentations have been occurred since late Miocene

and sediment waves as a potential quality reservoir of natural gas hydrate is an most important style of them. Based on abundant available data of seismic

gravity sampling and drilling core

we analyzed the characteristics of seismic reflection and sedimentation of sediment waves and the occurrence of natural gas hydrate hosted in it

and discussed the control factors on natural gas hydrate accumulation. The former findings revealed the deep sea of the northern South China Sea have superior geological conditions on natural gas hydrate accumulation. Therefore

it will be of great significance in deep-sea natural gas hydrate exploration with the study on the relationship between deep-sea sedimentation and natural gas hydrate accumulation.
