The size of gas hydrate reservoir is very important to the future energy resource and environment. The potential total resources volume of gas hydrate in the past 40 years is integrated and evaluated, which could be divided into three periods: the initial stage (1970s ~ early 1980s), the developmental stage (1980s ~ early 2000s), and the rational stage (2000s ~ present). It appears that the estimates of gas hydrates decreased by at least one order of magnitude from one stage to another. The decrease of estimates is a result of growing research of gas hydrates exploration and development. With the acquisition of actual samples of gas hydrate, the method of estimation hydrate resource is getting more and more mature; estimation parameters are getting closer and closer to the actual geological conditions; estimated value becomes more and more rational. The best estimated amount of the global marine gas hydrate resources is (1 ~ 3) × 1015 m3.
Key words： natural gas hydrate; potential resources volume; estimate
