Gas hydrate, popularly known as "flammable ice", is an ideal energy characterized by high energy density, wide distribution, shallow burial, simple forming condition and clean developing environment. It may become a new energy source to replace oil and gas in the future. There are favorable gas hydrate forming conditions in the deep water of the China Seas, such as the abundance of sources, combination of temperature and pressure and geo-structures, and thus there is great resource potential.  Based on the seismic anomalies, drilling testing has been made and gas hydrate samples have been successfully obtained in the region. This paper focuses on the current status of development and application of seismic exploration technology for marine gas hydrates survey in China, with a brief introduction to the status overseas.
