Abstract
Transfer mechanisms of the gas dissolved in water are investigated within the framework of the one-dimensional approximation for a submarine mud volcano. The conditions and intensity of transition of the dissolved gas into the hydrate form inside the volcano are determined. Practical recommendations on search for hydrate reservoirs in water areas are given.
