Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrate occurrence pattern recognition, and in particular to a method for evaluating the occurrence pattern of natural gas hydrate in a natural gas hydrate reservoir. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas hydrates, an unconventional energy source, have total resources twice as large as the total proven resources of coal, oil, and natural gas combined. They represent a highly promising energy source for the 21st century, with broad prospects for development. Natural gas hydrate occurrence patterns vary significantly across regions and lithologic formations. These patterns indicate the gas source, fluid flux, and temperature conditions during hydrate formation, providing guidance for the study of hydrate-bearing formation properties and reservoir formation patterns.
[0003] Common natural gas hydrate occurrence modes include: (1) particle cementation mode: hydrates are formed near the contact points of sediment particles and cement the sediment skeleton; (2) encapsulation cementation mode: hydrates are formed by encapsulating sediment particles and cementing the sediment skeleton; (3) skeleton support mode: hydrates exist as part of the sediment skeleton, enhancing sediment stiffness but not participating in cementation; (4) pore suspension mode: hydrates are suspended and dispersed in the sediment pores and do not contact the sediment skeleton. Differences in hydrate occurrence modes can cause significant changes in the elastic properties of the formation. The acoustic properties of rocks play an important role in the identification of hydrate occurrence modes. Identifying hydrate occurrence modes is the basis for hydrate reservoir evaluation and resource development and utilization. Therefore, it is of great significance to study economical and effective quantitative identification methods for natural gas hydrate occurrence modes.
[0004] Existing methods for quantitatively identifying natural gas hydrate occurrence patterns can be divided into two main categories: one is to identify the boundaries of different materials in the sediment or detect the heat of the samples based on the results of CT scanning and thermal imaging analysis of drilling core samples, thereby determining the occurrence pattern of hydrates; the other is to establish reservoir rock physical acoustic models and discrimination parameters based on logging longitudinal and shear wave velocity data to determine the hydrate saturation of pore suspension and skeleton support modes.
[0005] Existing quantitative identification methods for hydrate occurrence patterns have many shortcomings, mainly reflected in the following aspects: ① The current methods that can accurately identify hydrate occurrence patterns rely on drilling coring, and it is difficult to identify hydrate occurrence patterns directly based on logging data; ② The identification methods based on logging data are only targeted at one or two hydrate occurrence patterns and cannot quantitatively evaluate reservoirs where multiple hydrate occurrence patterns coexist.
[0006] Based on this, there is still a need to further study economical and effective methods for quantitative identification of natural gas hydrate occurrence patterns. Summary of the Invention
