The subsurface distribution of methane hydrate in the vicinity of Keathley Canyon block 195 in the northern Gulf of Mexico can be predicted by combining two new data sets: Marine heat flow data collected under the auspices of the DOE Joint Industry Project (JIP) for Methane Hydrates and high-resolution multichannel seismic data acquired by the USGS in Spring 2003, data that image a bottom simulating reflector (BSR).
