Abstract. Short evaluation is given to the issue of searching and prospecting of gas hydrate deposits. Importance of gas hydrates development is considered as a new additional source of energy on the territory of Ukraine. Comparative analysis of existing methods for methane extraction from gas hydrate accumulations was performed. Thermobaric indicators of methane hydrates formation and stable existence were established by laboratory way. It is proposed to develop ecologically safe schemes for mining hydrate deposits in the Black Sea depression. Methodology is now in the process of designing with the aim to create artificial gas-hydrate blocks in degassing wells in Donetsk region and to rationally and optimally use and transport associated gas in the form of ice blocks.
Key words: gas hydrates, deposits development, methane extraction.
