Geological features, controlling factors and potential prospects of the gas hydrate occurrence in the east part of the Pearl River Mouth Basin, South China Sea

Logging-while-drilling (LWD) and wireline log (CWL) data were acquired during China's second gas hydrate drilling expedition (GMGS-2) in the east of Pearl River Mouth Basin, South China Sea. Disseminated and massive gas hydrates deposits were found at different sites. Gas hydrate-bearing lithologies identified from the sample coring included the fine-grained sediments and coarse-grained sediments. LWD logs from Site GMGS2-08 indicate significant...
