南海北部水合物富集区水道特征对比与成因分析

天然气水合物作为现今乃至未来的重要清洁能源之一，其沉积环境和成矿条件的研究一直是国内外地质学家关注的热点问题，我国2007年、2013年及2015年已先后在神狐、和东沙海域多次成功钻获了天然气水合物实物样品。由此南海北部陆坡成为探讨天然气水合物沉积成因与成矿条件的重要试验区。然而，南海北部陆坡区的神狐、东沙及琼东南三个海域均有不同程度的天然气水合物发现，其各自的水深、沉积特征、气源成因及水合物成矿条件各有特点。本文利用地震沉积学原理，结合不同沉积相和沉积演化和古地貌、海平面变化和构造运动等因素，识别出不同类型的地震相。通过对比南海北部陆坡区域的水道系统的MTDs，认为其发育位置、展布和控制因素的不同影响了沉积展布。其中东沙区域位于近物源的上陆坡，神狐区域位于正常的缓陆坡区域，琼东南区域位于远离物源的海底平原区域。并且，水道系统可以分成侵蚀型，侵蚀-加积型和加积型，MTDs也可以分成头部拉张型，中部过渡型和趾部挤压型。

Sedimentary characteristics comparison and genesis analysis of the deepwater channel in the hydrate enrichment zones on the north slope of the South China Sea

Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is one of the important clean energy at present and even in the future. The study of its sedimentary environment and minerogenetic condition has long been a hot issue that has received much concern from geologists all over the world. China has successfully obtained the samples of NGH in Shenhu and Dongsha sea areas in 2007, 2013 and 2015, respectively. From this, the continental slope north of the South China Sea becomes an important test site for the study of NGH sedimentary genesis and minerogenetic condition. NGH has been found in Shenhu, Dongsha and Qiongdongnan areas within the continental slope north of South China Sea, at different depths of water, with different sedimentary characteristics, gas genesis, and minerogenetic conditions. Using a seismic sedimentology theory, combining seismic facies results of each facies, sedimentary facies and evolution of each area are documented in turn establishing a sedimentary model by considering palaeo-geomorphology, sea level change and tectonic movement. The channel system and MTD (Mass Transport Deposition) system among these three areas were compared focusing on the developing position, appearance and controlling factors. Relative location among three areas is firstly defined that Dongsha area in a near-provenance steep upper slope, Shenhu area in a normal gentle slope and Qiongdongnan area in an away-provenance flat plain. Besides, their channel systems are classified into erosional, erosional-aggradational and aggradational channel, and MTD systems into headwall domain, translational domain and toe domain.
