According to the Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou Electric Power (Reporter Liang Ganghua), China's special investigation and research on marine combustible ice resources has achieved breakthrough results in four major areas after nearly 10 years of in-depth implementation, and will be fully concluded in the first half of 2011. This reporter learned from the special concluding meeting of the China Geological Survey recently held in Guangzhou. Combustible ice is a common name for natural gas hydrates. It is estimated that the total amount of organic carbon contained in flammable ice in the world is equivalent to twice the global known coal, oil and natural gas. China began to conduct substantive investigation and research on combustible ice since 1999. With formal approval from the state, China has officially launched a special survey and research on flammable ice resources in China's sea areas since 2002. In the past 10 years, the Guangzhou Ocean Geological Survey as a specific implementation unit of the project has carried out surveys of flammable ice resources in key areas and levels in the northern slopes of the South China Sea, particularly Xisha Trough, Shenhu, Dongsha and Qiongdongnan. Evaluation work. At present, the survey team has achieved breakthrough results in the following four areas: - The favorable area for flammable ice on the northern slope of the South China Sea was discovered. In the sea areas of the Xisha Trough, Dongsha, Shenhu, and Qiongdongnan, the deep-shallow surface of the combustible ice was discovered—multi-level and multi-information anomalies such as surface geophysics, geochemistry, geology, and biology. - Evaluation of the potential of flammable ice resources on the northern slopes of the South China Sea. The scope of its anomaly distribution has been tentatively delineated, and the prospects for the thickness and hydrate resources of flammable ice have been predicted, and the potential for combustible ice resources in this area has been evaluated.

—— Two key targets for combustible ice are identified: Dongsha and Shenhu. The most favorable target area for the prospect of combustible ice on the northern slope of the South China Sea was delineated, providing a target target area for the implementation of combustible ice drilling verification.
- Confirmed the existence of flammable ice resources in the South China Sea. From April to June of 2007, a foreign drilling vessel was hired to perform a drilling project in the Shenhu area and successfully obtained samples of combustible ice. This made our country the fourth country after the United States, Japan, and India to obtain physical samples of combustible ice on the seafloor through national R&D programs.
