基于波阻抗反演的天然气水合物地震检测技术

天然气水合物作为特殊的地质体,可以有效地粘结碎屑颗粒,降低沉积物孔隙度,它的存在改变了地层沉积物的物理性质,造成天然气水合物与围岩速度反差较大,从而与围岩之间存在明显的波阻抗差。为了对地层中是否有天然气水合物赋存进行地震检测,对南海北部神狐海域的天然气水合物赋存区域的地震资料进行波阻抗反演分析,结果显示波阻抗反演方法能够作为探测天然气水合物的一种技术手段,研究区天然气水合物矿体的波阻抗呈高值分布特征,波阻抗值约为3 850~3 960 g/cm3.m/s。综合分析认为,波阻抗反演方法能够用于天然气水合物的地震探测、储层分析和综合研究工作中,反演结果可以为天然气水合物储量计算提供比较准确的矿体面积和厚度参数。

The Seismic Detecting Technique on Gas Hydrates Based on Wave Impedance Inversion

As specific geologic body,gas hydrate can cement effectively clastic particles and reduce porosity of deposition,so its presence changes physical property of the sedimentary strata and results in the difference of seismic-wave velocity between gas hydrate and the surrounding rock,and there exists obviously wave impedance difference.In order to detect the presence of sediments with gas hydrate,seismic data of gas hydrate zone in the Shenhu area of the northern South China Sea were used in the wave impedance inversion through practice,testing and summary.Wave impedance inversion method is considered as a kind of good seismic detection technique for identification of gas hydrates,meanwhile,the wave impedance of gas hydrate zone shows high value in the study area,and the wave impedance value is about 3,850-3,960 g/cm3·m/s.All the results suggested that wave impedance inversion can be used for detection,reservoir analysis and comprehensive research of gas hydrates.The wave impedance inversion results can provide comparatively accurate area and thickness parameters of gas hydrate zone for reserves calculation.
