Natural gas hydrates exist in sublacustrine sediments of Lake Baikal. Gas hydrates were first obtained from sub-bottom depths of 121 and 161 m in the Baikal Drilling Project well located at the southern Baikal basin. Recently, MHP (Multi-phase Gas Hydrate Project, 2009-2013) revealed distribution of gas hydrate in sub-bottom sediment at the southern and central Baikal basins. We obtained gas hydrate crystals from more than 25 places, and retrieved hydrate-bound gas onboard. We measured molecular and isotopic compositions of hydrate-bound gas.
According to the δ13C-δD diagram for methane (Whiticar, 1999), high and low methane δ13C values indicate thermogenic and microbial origins, respectively, and methane δD provides information on methyl-type fermentation or CO2 reduction in the microbial field. Kida et al. (2006) and Hachikubo et al. (2010) reported that hydrate-bound methane of Lake Baikal was microbial origin via methyl-type fermentation, because methane δD was about -300‰. We found heavier methane (δ13C ranged from -50‰ to -40‰) in the Kukuy Canyon area (central Baikal basin), indicating thermogenic origin. Methane δD was distributed from -330‰ to -270‰. Generally, δD of thermogenic methane of marine gas hydrates is much more heavier (more than -200‰). Methane δD of Lake Baikal gas hydrate seems to be about 100‰ smaller than that of marine gas hydrate. Matveeva et al. (2003) reported that δD of the lake bottom water was about -133‰. Possiblely, methane δD of hydrate-bound methane derives from δD of water.
