Περίληψη

Η πτυχιακή αυτή εργασία έχει ως στόχο να μελετήσει το τι ακριβώς είναι οι υδρίτες μεθανίου, το πως δημιουργούνται, σε ποιες περιοχές εντοπίζονται με ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στο χώρο της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου, τι τεχνολογίες έχουν αναπτυχθεί γύρω από αυτούς και τέλος τι αντίκτυπο μπορεί να έχουν για την οικονομία και τον πετρελαϊκό κλάδο. Αρχικά, στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο αναλύονται οι γενικοί και εισαγωγικοί όροι που περιγράφουν τους υδρίτες αλλά και το τι ακριβώς είναι τα ηφαίστεια λάσπης, που εντοπίζονται με βάση την παγκόσμια βιβλιογραφία και το πως συνδέονται με τους υδρίτες μεθανίου. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας επικεντρώνεται στον τρόπο δημιουργίας του τόξου της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου, γίνεται εκτενής ανάλυση για το σύμπλεγμα των ηφαιστείων λάσπης Αναξίμανδρος και την σύνδεσή τους με τους υδρίτες μεθανίου και περιγράφει τις τεκτονικές κινήσεις στον Ελλαδικό χώρο. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται η περιβαλλοντική επίδραση του μεθανίου στην ατμόσφαιρα και ο ρόλος που διαδραματίζει στο φαινόμενο της υπερθέρμανσης του πλανήτη, οι υπάρχουσες τεχνικές ανάκτησης των υδριτών, ενώ τέλος αναλύονται οι οικονομικοί και πολιτικοί παράγοντες που αναμένεται να επιδράσουν στη μελλοντική έρευνα και εκμετάλλευση των αποθεμάτων υδριτών του πλανήτη.

This bachelor thesis aims in studying what are the hydrates methane, how are they being created, in which regions are they concentrated with special mention to Eastern Mediterranean space, what technologies have been created around them and what can be their impact on the economy and oil industry. The first chapter analyses the general and introductory terminology that describes the hydrates, what are the mud volcanos, which are being identified based on the international bibliography, and how are they connected with the hydrates methane. The second chapter of the thesis focus on the creation of the Eastern Mediterranean Arc thoroughly analyses Anaximander’s mud volcanos complex
