由印度政府、日本政府和美国科学家组成的联合勘探小组在印度洋发现了大规模可开发天然气水合物储集层。这一国际科学家小组由印度石油天然气公司（ONGC）代表印度石油和天然气部牵头成立，联合美国地质调查所（USGS）、日本公司Japanese Drilling Company和日本海洋科学技术中心（JAMSTEC）进行能源勘探。
美国地质调查所称：在该机构帮助下，印度政府已在孟加拉湾区域发现了大规模、高度密集的天然气水合物储层。这是在印度洋海域首次发现此类可开采能源。该机构解释称：天然气水合物是一种自然形成的、天然气和水的冰状混合物，多在世界各大洋和极地地区出现。全世界气体水合物聚集层中的天然气含量预计能大大超过所有传统气体资源的总和。
来自印度、日本和美国的科学家在印度沿海进行了海洋钻探、传统沉积岩取心、高压取心、底部测井和数据分析等一系列活动，以对地质产状、区域环境和天然气水合物储层的特征做出准确评估。

A research partnership between the Government of India, the Government of Japan, and U.S. scientists has resulted in a discovery of ‘large deposits of potentially producible gas hydrate’ in the Indian Ocean. The international team of scientists was led by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) of India on behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas India, in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Japanese Drilling Company, and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
The USGS said that it has assisted the Government of India in the discovery of large, highly enriched accumulations of natural gas hydrate in the Bay of Bengal, the first discovery of its kind in the Indian Ocean that has the potential to be producible. The agency explained that natural gas hydrates are a naturally occurring, ice-like combination of natural gas and water found in the world’s oceans and polar regions. The amount of gas within the world’s gas hydrate accumulations is estimated to greatly exceed the volume of all known conventional gas resources.
The scientists from India, Japan, and the United States conducted ocean drilling, conventional sediment coring, pressure coring, downhole logging and analytical activities to assess the geologic occurrence, regional context and characteristics of gas hydrate deposits in the offshore of India.
