| Abstract: | The Taranaki Basin (Figure 1) is the only hydrocarbon producing basin in New Zealand with vast amounts of oil and gas currently being produced. Gas hydrate studies in the Taranaki Basin are at the level of determining the thermoberic stability conditions for hydrates and analysis of the likelihood of the presence of hydrates within the stability zones, which include analysis of both direct and indirect indicators of gas hydrates. Previous studies on gas hydrates in the basin tried to assess the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) depth by detecting the bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) on seismic sections (Ogebule and Pecher, 2010) and basin modelling (Kroeger et al., 2017). The hydrate stability field of the entire Taranaki Basin has not been investigated, especially the contributions of higher-order hydrocarbons in the formation of hydrates in the basin |
