Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is very important to understand what kind geological conditions influence to form gas hydrate and oil–gas deposits in the Oceans and Seas. For example, geological–geophysical complex investigations in the Okhotsk Sea allow us to find special geological structures with methane fluxes, gas hydrate and oil-gas deposits. Gas hydrate in surface sediment in the Okhotsk Sea was found in 17 areas. The source of methane is the deep layers that contain layers of oil–gas deposits. The regularity of relationships between methane fluxes, gas hydrate and oil-gas deposit are very important. Complex investigations via international cooperation have allowed us to discover methane fluxes, gas hydrate and to find a great deal of regularity to form and to destroy gas hydrate in the Okhotsk Sea. One is the possibility that gas hydrate participates to form oil–gas deposits. Gas hydrate conserves hydrocarbons under high pressure and low temperature conditions and gas hydrate is good cap that close free oil-gas from degassing to assist accumulation of oil-gas deposit. So, methane fluxes, gas hydrate and oil–gas deposits are relationship between each other, and may be used as an indicator to search for oil–gas deposits.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
