Some Results of Direct FR Technology Applied to Study Methane Seepage Areas in the Arctic Region

The experimental study of the seepage processes' sources formation in structures Arctic Region was carried out using modified methods frequency-resonance (FR) processing and decoding satellite images photographs with vertical scanning cross-sections. newly obtained results show that intensity dynamics methane seeps pockmarks fields’ depend on active deep degassing processes continental margin structures. use direct FR-sounding technologies allows for determining probable origin depth geological gas migration at marginal centers Greenland, Norwegian Barents Seas.
