摘要:
浅表层天然气水合物具有埋藏浅、厚度大、纯度高等特点。现有的评价方法多针对于具有明显BSR反射特征的中深层天然气水合物,而对浅表层天然气水合物的相关研究鲜有发表。本研究通过对国内外浅表层水合物发育区广泛调研,以浅表层水合物的形成机理为基础,探究水合物资源评价方法的选择;以水合物空间展布规律为参考,明确评价范围界定条件;以综合指示特征为参考,分析评价参数的选取依据。并在此基础上,与中深层天然气水合物进行对比,提出浅表层天然气水合物资源刻度区选取及解剖的初步建议,引出评价中存在的问题,梳理出浅表层天然气水合物的资源评价方法的关键问题。
Abstract:The shallow gas hydrate is characterized by shallow burial depth, large thickness and high purity, compared with that in deep sediments. At present, the diffusion gas hydrate in the medium-deep marine sediments is the main target of resource evaluation for the obvious BSR reflection characteristics, while the systematic evaluation of shallow gas hydrate is rarely reported. Based on the formation mechanism of shallow surface hydrate, this paper is devoted to the feasible assessment methods for hydrate resources in shallow sediments, the definition of evaluation scope based on the spatial distribution patterns of gas hydrate, and the selection of evaluation parameters with reference to the comprehensive indication characteristics of hydrate. Finally, preliminary suggestions are made on the selection basis of the calibrated unit of shallow gas hydrate resources and educe the key problems in the resource evaluation methods for shallow gas hydrates.
