Logging-seismic response characteristics of natural gas hydrates in the Shenhu area,South China Sea
Accurate evaluation of the distribution characteristics and physical properties of gas hydrate reservoirs is crucial for estimating gas hydrate resources,guiding development and utilization strategies,and understanding environmental impacts.Based on high-precision 3D seismic and well-logging data acquired in the Shenhu area,this paper presents a comprehensive method for discriminating between hydrate layers,free gas layers,and coexistence layers using integrated logging-seismic responses.Our results show that the gas hydrate layer and free gas layer at the W17 station can be accurately identified by combining post-stack seismic profiles with detailed analysis of logging curves.Above the BSR,a hydrate layer is characterized by relatively high seismic velocity,strong amplitude reflections,poor transverse continuity,and high resistivity and velocity values.In contrast,the underlying free gas layer exhibits low seismic velocity,low-frequency weak amplitude reflections,and low resistivity and velocity values.This study provides a robust basis and valuable reference for informed decision-making regarding gas hydrate reservoir identification,resource evaluation,exploration,and trial production activities.
