The shallow gas reservoir in the northern deep water area of the South China Sea (SCS) is a new type of oil-gas reservoir associated with gas hydrate, which has the characteristics of shallow burial and large scale, and its burial depth is generally less than 300 m. The shallow gas reservoir was formed by the gas hydrate cap in the deep cracking gas along the fault, and the identification of bottom simulating reflector is an effective method to find the shallow gas reservoir. The gas sources mainly include: pyrolysis gas, biogas and mixture. Slope tensile rupture is a major channel for gas migration, a sand layer at the bottom of the hydrate is the main reservoir of shallow gas accumulation, and the hydrate layer is blocked. Looking from gas hydrate distribution characteristics found in the SCS, shallow gas reservoir, widely distributed in slope deep-water area, with big reservoir thickness, and potentially significant resources, is a new type of reservoir while mining costs are relatively low.
