地震属性在海洋天然气水合物识别中的应用

海洋拖缆主动源多道地震技术是应用于海洋天然气水合物资源调查的主要技术方法。不同于常规油气藏勘探,海底天然气水合物成藏机制复杂多样,海底似反射(Bottom Simulating Reflector,BSR)特征与水合物赋存并非完全对应。为提高海洋天然气水合物矿体识别的可靠性,地震属性技术在水合物资源调查中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文对我国南海北部海域天然气水合物调查中的关键属性进行了对比、分析及筛选试验研究。试验针对海洋高分辨多道三维地震数据,采用三维地震层速度控制综合处理技术完成了BSR区域的成像,提取了与BSR相关的多种地震属性,并对BSR地震属性体的内部特性进行了分析,实现了BSR特征水合物矿体的识别,并提取了BSR上方和下部结合层带的地震属性。研究结果表明,在水合物赋存地层极其复杂的条件下,地震属性分析技术在海洋复杂浅地层水合物识别方面具有可行性和技术优势。     

海底高频地震仪在南海北部天然气水合物探测中的应用

天然气水合物是石油天然气的理想替代能源,是当前能源、环境领域的研究热点。我国2007年神狐海域水合物钻探表明,天然气水合物的空间分布不均,水合物矿体内部物性差异较大。为了研究海域水合物及游离气的矿层结构,准确评估研究区天然气水合物资源量,采用三维地震与海底高频地震(HF-OBS)联合采集技术,获取水合物矿区的多波地震反射数据。充分利用纵横波速度信息,刻画研究区天然气水合物矿体的外形与内部结构,分析含天然气水合物沉积层的沉积环境与沉积物类型关系,进而获得这一海域天然气水合物分布规律的综合地质认识。     

南海北部揭阳凹陷天然气水合物的地震异常特征分析

大量研究表明南海北部珠江口盆地是天然气水合物发育区,但是该盆地东部揭阳凹陷水合物研究较少。本文利用揭阳凹陷新采集三维地震资料,对该三维地震资料进行成像道集优化和叠前时间偏移处理,得到针对水合物的新处理地震数据体,并通过高精度网格层析反演得到层速度数据体。利用该数据开展叠后约束稀疏脉冲反演,获得含天然气水合物地层波阻抗异常,综合分析反演与地震属性识别水合物。从新处理地震资料看,该区域似海底反射(bottom simulation reflection,BSR)反射呈连续、不连续与地层斜交等特征,BSR发育在一个继承性小型水道上,且下部断裂和气烟囱发育。通过分析BSR特征及BSR上下地层的速度、波阻抗、振幅、频率、相干等属性异常,结合水合物成藏条件,发现了南海北部新的天然气水合物有利富集区,为该区域水合物勘探提供基础。     

双源单缆方式采集的天然气水合物三维地震数据采集脚印分析与压制处理

在海洋地震资料处理中,由于检波点空间分布不均匀造成的采集脚印现象会影响地震资料成像,特别是对双源单缆方式采集的三维地震数据影响更为明显。通过对海上某区双源单缆方式采集的天然气水合物三维地震数据采集脚印形成原因及特点的详细分析,最终分别在叠前采用子波处理、潮汐、水速校正、面元中心化方法,叠后采用频率、波数域滤波的方法压制采集脚印。通过以上关键技术的应用,提高了双源单缆方式采集的三维地震数据的信噪比和分辨率,采集脚印从时间切片和剖面上均有了明显衰减,而且实现了最大限度的保持振幅、频率、相位属性。为精细刻画、描述地质构造形态和预测天然气水合物储层分布及有利富集区带,提供可靠的地震资料。     

天然气水合物准三维地震调查导航定位技术

随着我国天然气水合物调查工作进展到需要实施钻探阶段,为了进一步提高水合物识别的准确度,精确描述水合物矿体的外部形态及展布特征,获取矿体准确的位置信息,必须要提高导航定位的精度。在水合物调查的实践过程中,根据单源单缆准三维地震的特殊性,通过对定位网络配置、误差分析、数据处理等技术方法的建立,有效地提高了定位精度并在实际的工作实践中取得了明显的效果,为水合物的获取提供了有力的技术支持。     

南海神狐海域天然气水合物地震资料采集脚印分析与压制

在三维地震资料采集中,由于观测系统本身的原因及采集条件等因素在地震数据体上形成了采集脚印,在海域资料中表现为条带状的振幅异常。采集脚印的存在,影响着地震资料的成像质量以及后续的地震反演、属性分析和AVO研究。尤其在水合物地震资料分析中,精确的成像以及可靠的地震反演、地震属性分析关乎精确识别水合物分布。因此本文详细分析了神狐海域地震资料的采集脚印现象并采取了有效的压制技术,为后续通过地震反演、属性分析和AVO反演研究精细刻画、描述构造形态、预测天然气水合物储层分布和预测天然气水合物有利富集区带提供了可靠的地震资料。     

小道距高分辨率三维地震探测新技术助力海域天然气水合物勘查

<正>近日,由中国地质调查局青岛海洋地质研究所联合中国海洋大学开展的"天然气水合物小道距高分辨率三维地震探测"项目圆满完成了野外资料采集工作,并顺利通过了专家组验收,为今后我国海域天然气水合物资源勘查再添关键技术支撑。随着我国天然气水合物勘查开发利用的快速发展,常规的二维地震探测精度已无法满足精细刻画天然气水合物矿体的要求。2011年以来,青岛海洋地质研究所联合中国海洋大学开展了"天然气水合物小道距高分辨率三维地震探测"技术     

南海北部陆坡东沙海域海底丘状体气体与水合物分布

海底丘状体在天然气水合物发育区是一种常见的微地貌,对丘状体的研究有助于理解海底流体渗漏模式以及水合物的赋存规律。本文研究南海北部陆坡东沙海域天然气水合物发育区海底丘状体的特征及其与水合物的关系。研究所用的数据包括准三维多道地震数据、多波束数据以及浅地层剖面数据。在多波束海底地形图上,丘状体表现为局部的正地形,直径大约为300 m,高出周围海底约50 m。浅地层剖面上存在明显的声空白以及同相轴下拉现象,指示了海底丘状体气体的分布以及流体运移的路径。丘状体周围明显的BSR表明局部区域可能发育有水合物,水合物钻探结果也证实了这一推测。三维多道地震剖面上,丘状体正下方存在空白反射区域,这与泥火山的地震反射特征类似。但空白反射区域内存在强振幅能量,而且丘状体正下方存在连续的反射层,这表明该丘状体并非泥火山成因。综合钻探结果以及三维地震成像结果,认为水合物形成过程引起的沉积物膨胀以及海底碳酸盐岩的沉淀是形成该丘状体的主要原因。     

剩余静校正处理技术在神狐海域水合物识别中的应用

为了提高地震剖面上天然气水合物识别的可信度,以神狐海域天然气水合物钻探结果为基础,首次将剩余静校正处理技术应用于天然气水合物地震资料处理中。结果显示,在经过剩余静校正处理后的地震剖面上BSR特征清晰,反射能量强,极性反转明显。在此基础上,对比分析了过神狐海域2口水合物钻井的新老剖面品质,对比结果显示,不论是钻遇天然气水合物的SH3井,还是未钻遇天然气水合物的SH1井,经过剩余静校正处理后的新剖面成像精度得到了明显提高,剖面显示出的细微结构更加清晰,有利于天然气水合物的识别。因此,建议开展海域天然气水合物(尤其是扩散型水合物)的剩余静校正处理。     

Development of a System for 3D High-resolution Seismic Reflection Profiling on Lakes

A high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) seismic reflection system for small-scale targets in lacustrine settings has been developed. Its main characteristics include navigation and shot-triggering software that fires the seismic source at regular distance intervals (max. error of 0.25 m) with real-time control on navigation using differential GPS (Global Positioning System). Receiver positions are accurately calculated (error<0.20 m) with the aid of GPS antennas attached to the end of each of three 24-channel streamers. Two telescopic booms hold the streamers at a distance of 7.5 m from each other. With a receiver spacing of 2.5 m, the bin dimension is 1.25 m in inline and 3.75 m in crossline direction. To test the system, we conducted a 3D survey of about 1 km² in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, over a complex fault zone. A 5-m shot spacing resulted in a nominal fold of 6. A double-chamber bubble-cancelling 15/15 in³ air gun (40–650 Hz) operated at 80 bars and 1 m depth gave a signal penetration of 300 m below water bottom and a best vertical resolution of 1.1 m. Processing followed a conventional scheme, but had to be adapted to the high sampling rates, and our unconventional navigation data needed conversion to industry standards. The high-quality data enabled us to construct maps of seismic horizons and fault surfaces in three dimensions. The system proves to be well adapted to investigate complex structures by providing non-aliased images of reflectors with dips up to 30°.     

黄河口现行流路入海水沙特征对流域的响应

基于1976-2012年利津站实测水沙资料,选取1976-1986年、1987-1999年及2000-2012年作为特征时段,探讨了黄河口现行入海水沙条件变化的阶段性特征,重点研究了入海泥沙粒度特征对入海水沙变化的响应情况。结果表明:(1)与1976-1986年年均入海流量1 020 m~3/s相比,1987-1999年与2000-2012年入海流量大幅度减小,分别为473.7 m~3/s和504.7 m~3/s;(2)与1976-1986年年均入海含沙量24.4 kg/m~3相比,1987-1999年大幅度减小至15.9 kg/m~3,2000-2012年仅为4.1 kg/m~3;(3) 1976-1986年入海悬沙中值粒径为0.022 mm,1987-1999年减小至0.016 mm,2000-2012年又变粗至0.021 mm,反映水库正常运行一段时间后,下游河床冲刷造成入海泥沙粗化;(4) 2000年后利津站与花园口站悬沙粒度特征变化趋势趋于一致。研究还揭示了利津站床沙特征与流域前4年来沙系数存在较好相关性,利津床沙粒径呈现随来沙系数减少而增大的趋势,表明流域来沙量减少会造成利津站床沙粗化。     

A high-resolution seismic profiling system using a deep-towed horizontal hydrophone streamer

A seismic reflection profiling system utilising a surface air gun source and a deep-towed horizontal hydrophone streamer has been developed for high resolution studies in the deep ocean. The instrument is deployed on a conventional armoured single conductor cable at depths of up to 6 km. Seismic data from the 30 m long streamer is wide-band frequency modulated up the towing cable to the ship together with a high frequency monitor from a 3.5 kHz echo-sounder mounted on the instrument package. The geometry of the system allows an order of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution compared with that obtained from standard surface source/receiver configurations. The summed hydrophones of the streamer attenuate cable-generated mechanical noise, and the 3.5 kHz sea-surface and bottom reflected returns provide receiver positioning information. The system has been successfully deployed at depths of 5 km in the Vema Fracture Zone in the North Atlantic, and although initially difficulties were experienced in balancing the streamer, subsequent profiles across the transform fault show details of sub-bottom structure which on conventional surface records are generally masked by diffraction hyperbolae.     

南海东北部末次冰期以来的沉积环境演变

利用南海东北部上陆坡处所取的D孔柱样进行硅藻分析,结合粒度与碎屑矿物分析结果,探讨该海域末次冰期以来沉积环境演变过程.结果表明：粒度与硅藻分析结果较为吻合,共同显示D孔柱样可分为上下两层.上表层（0～2 cm）的砂质沉积层为冰后期海进过程改造的晚更新世残留沉积层,即变余沉积;下层（2～130 cm）主要是末次冰期形成的浅海沉积.整个柱样可反映出海洋同位素MIS 4期海退至MIS 3期海进与MIS 2期海退至冰后期海进的沉积变化韵律.     

Deep-towed High Resolution multichannel seismic imaging

High Resolution (220–1050 Hz) seismic acquisition performed in deep water using deep-towed systems provides unrivalled lateral resolution when compared to conventional surface seismic. The lateral resolution of these acquisitions is controlled by the width of the first Fresnel zone, taking advantage of their positions close to the sea bottom. No current existing deep towed equipment can benefit from seismic imaging processing techniques to improve this resolution as a consequence of positioning inaccuracies. The technological developments of a digital deep-towed multichannel streamer are presented with a particular attention to positioning: each hydrophone incorporates a pitch, roll and heading sensor in order to monitor the constant deformation of the streamer in operation. The sea trials took place in July 2013 in the Mediterranean Sea. Pre-stack depth migration applied to the deep-towed multichannel data illustrates the potential of this emerging methodology in terms of penetration (12 dB improvement in Signal/Noise) and lateral resolution (mean signal wavelength: 3 m) when compared with deep-towed single-channel acquisition.     

Influence of Velocity and Types of Beam Trawl Towing on Deep-Sea Demersal Fish and Decapod Crustacean Samples

The sampling efficiency of two types of beam trawl towed at different velocities was compared when sampling deep-sea demersal fish and decapod crustaceans. The trawls were a Sigsbee-Agassiz type of 2 m span, and an Oregon type of 3 m span. The different hauls caught by the Oregon type beam trawl of 3 m span towed at 1.5 knot (3m 1.5 kt), the Oregon type towed at 0.8 knot (3m 0.8 kt) and the Sigsbee-Agassiz type towed at 1.5 knot (2m 1.5 kt) were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Tukey test, cluster analysis based on Morisita-Horn index, and correspondence analysis. The minimum viable sample size was determined by a randomization test. For demersal fish, the type of gear used had more influenced on the samples obtained than the towing velocity. For decapod crustaceans, no significant difference was detected between different trawls towed at different velocities. The common idea that if these types of trawl are towed at 1 knot or more, they cannot efficiently sample epifauna, but demersal fish can be well sampled, should be abandoned. The samples of demersal fish caught by 3m 1.5 kt revealed the greatest consistency and lowest variation than the others. We recommend using an Oregon type beam trawl of 3 m span towed at 1.5 knot as an ordinary deep-sea sampling device. Only a single successful haul or a sample size of 52 individuals was sufficient for estimating demersal fish diversity, but at least two successful hauls or a sample size of 54 individuals were needed for decapod crustaceans. If possible, seven successful hauls or a sample size of 189 individuals of decapod crustaceans are recommended for community study.

三亚湾珊瑚来源虫黄藻不同株系微环境中微生物群落结构的差异比较分析

虫黄藻、细菌和造礁石珊瑚有着密切的共生关系, 但虫黄藻藻际细菌群落尚未得到广泛研究。本研究对5个属的6株虫黄藻进行了离体培养, 其中2株为悬浮型虫黄藻(E型), 4株为贴壁型虫黄藻(A—D型)。通过采集藻株培养物3种粒径的样本开展细菌群落分析, 分别为0.2~3μm(自由生活)、>3μm(附着于藻体或颗粒物)与Settling(沉底贴壁藻体上)。结果发现, 2种生活方式的藻株藻际细菌群落具有显著差别, 贴壁型藻株细菌群落的物种丰富度显著高于悬浮型藻株。发现7个属的细菌广泛存在于所有的藻株中, 它们代表了A—E型虫黄藻藻际细菌的核心类群。对3种粒径样本的核心细菌群落比较发现, 自由生和颗粒附着生的核心细菌群落十分相似, 但均与沉底贴壁样本差异明显。     

黄海冷水团水域浮游植物群落粒级结构的季节变化

根据2006—2007年度4个季节航次的实测资料,分析了黄海冷水团水域浮游植物叶绿素及其粒级结构的时空分布特征及季节变化规律,结果表明,在研究海域30 m以浅叶绿素总量的平均含量从高到低的顺序为:春季的(1.01 mg/m3)、夏季的(0.81 mg/m3)、秋季(0.72 mg/m3)、冬季(0.68 mg/m3);在叶绿素浓度大于1 mg/m3和小于1 mg/m3的区域浮游植物粒级结构差异较大,在整个研究海域,粒径较小的微型和微微型浮游植物对总生物量的贡献始终占主导(65%),粒径较大的小型浮游植物在冬季和春季贡献率相对较高;从季节尺度看,浮游植物的平均粒级指数从大到小的顺序为:春季的(15.47μm),冬季的(11.08μm),秋季的(8.61μm),夏季的(6.52μm);尽管不同季节水文和化学环境差异显著,但是不同粒径浮游植物的贡献率随总生物量的变化表现出一致性的规律。对环境因子与叶绿素分布的相关分析表明,浮游植物的生长在夏季主要受到营养盐来源的限制,冬季主要受到水体混合引起的光照限制,秋季可能受到磷酸盐和水体混合的共同限制。浮游植物粒级结构的分布格局主要是由各组分在不同环境中的资源竞争优势决定的。

两相流过泵回流试验是模拟水力提升系统紧急停泵情况下垂直管道中颗粒运动状态,紧急停泵时,可能会出现堵管、难于输送等现象。为提高管道水力输送安全性,采用三种不同的模拟结核颗粒(粒径分别为d≤10 mm,d≤20 mm,d≤50 mm),两种不同浓度(CV=5%,CV=8%),在两级泵额定流量Q=420 m3/h条件下进行了过泵回流试验,分析了试验结果,从多个方面总结了堵管原因。认为实际工程中应该严格控制颗粒上限粒径,采用合适的颗粒级配,并对管道定期进行清洗,尽量减少管道的大角度转弯和断面突变。     

From mechanical modeling to seismic imaging of faults: A synthetic workflow to study the impact of faults on seismic

Although typically interpreted as 2D surfaces, faults are 3D narrow zones of highly and heterogeneously strained rocks, with petrophysical properties differing from the host rock. Here we present a synthetic workflow to evaluate the potential of seismic data for imaging fault structure and properties. The workflow consists of discrete element modeling (DEM) of faulting, empirical relations to modify initial acoustic properties based on volumetric strain, and a ray-based algorithm simulating prestack depth migration (PSDM). We illustrate the application of the workflow in 2D to a 100 m displacement normal fault in a kilometer size sandstone-shale sequence at 1.5 km depth. To explore the effect of particle size on fault evolution, we ran two DEM simulations with particle assemblages of similar bulk mechanical behavior but different particle size, one with coarse (1–3 m particle radii) and the other with fine (0.5–1.5 m particle radii) particles. Both simulations produce realistic but different fault geometries and strain fields, with the finer particle size model displaying narrower fault zones and fault linkage at later stages. Seismic images of these models are highly influenced by illumination direction and wave frequency. Specular illumination highlights flat reflectors outside the fault zone, but fault related diffractions are still observable. Footwall directed illumination produces low amplitude images. Hanging wall directed illumination images the shale layers within the main fault segment and the lateral extent of fault related deformation. Resolution and the accuracy of the reflectors are proportional to wave frequency. Wave frequencies of 20 Hz or more are necessary to image the different fault structure of the coarse and fine models. At 30–40 Hz, there is a direct correlation between seismic amplitude variations and the input acoustic properties after faulting. At these high frequencies, seismic amplitude variations predict both the extent of faulting and the changes in rock properties in the fault zone.
