Description

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seabed gas-containing sediments, and in particular to a pore pressure response model test system for gas-containing silt sediments and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Shallow gas in seafloor gas-bearing sediments often exists in the form of high-pressure gas pockets, and its pressure is generally higher than atmospheric pressure. When the accumulated high-pressure shallow gas escapes, the pressure of the gas-bearing formation drops sharply, and the gas scours the formation, disturbing the gas-bearing soil layer and the overlying or underlying formations.

[0037] The control module unit includes a computer control end, and the load sensor 8, the first pressure gauge 16, the second pressure gauge 20, and the pore pressure sensor 1 are all electrically connected to the computer control end. The computer control end adopts a real-time monitoring method to record and control different test parameters. Considering the change laws of the consolidation degree, shear strength, creep characteristics, seepage characteristics, etc. of the gas-containing silt before and after gas escape under extreme gas reservoir pressure, the relationship between the pore water pressure and various parameters during the gas escape process is obtained.

[0038] Specifically, each gas collecting device includes an annular gas collecting bag 6, and two gas outlet pipes 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each gas collecting bag 6. One end of the two gas outlet pipes 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 5. A bender element is provided inside each gas collecting bag 6, and each bender element is electrically connected to the computer control end.

[0039] Specifically, each pressure relief device includes a third connecting pipe 24, each third connecting pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper cover plate 26, each third connecting pipe 24 is provided with a safety valve 25, and each upper cover plate 26 is provided with a pressure gauge. If the water tank tube 23 reaches the pressure threshold, the safety valve 25 can be controlled to discharge methane gas.

[0040] Specifically, porous stone layers 4 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the seabed sediment 14. The function of the porous stone is to ensure that the disturbance of the sediment is reduced during the loading process.

[0041] Specifically, the protective shell 7 and the water tank tube 23 are both made of PMMA XT type organic glass. The thickness of the protective shell 7 is 15 mm, the elastic modulus thereof is 3.3 GPa, and the yield stress is 70-80 MPa.

[0042] The present invention also provides an operating method of a gas-containing silt sediment pore pressure response model test system, comprising the following steps:

[0043] S1, methane is introduced into the two water tanks 23 through the fifth connecting pipe 28 and the fourth connecting pipe 27 by the air pump 18, so that the seawater in the two water tanks 23 is saturated with methane gas at a pressure of 300 to 800 kPa for at least 48 hours;

[0044] S2, placing the reshaped seabed sediment 14 between the two baffles 5, and then applying a pressure difference in the two water tanks 23 to generate a hydraulic gradient, so that the saturated seawater flows through the seabed sediment 14;

[0045] S3, grasp the sliding rod 10, and manually move the piston 13 until it contacts the seabed sediment 14, so that the upper piston starts to move at a loading speed of 0.12 mm / h and the lower piston starts to move at an unloading speed of 0.5 mm / h, and the maximum total load is configured according to the target value of the pore pressure. When the piston 13 moves, the gas escaping from the seabed sediment 14 enters the gas collection bag 6, and the bending machine element can detect the changes in the gas collection bag 6 to measure the P wave velocity and the changes in the gas reservoir pressure in the escaping gas collection bag 6 during the shallow gas release process;

[0046] S4, during the degassing process, the piston 13 is manually lifted to allow the gas to expand or dissolve and the sediment to expand, and the two safety valves 25 are opened for full or partial decompression. The two valves are opened simultaneously so that the decompression acts on both sides of the seabed sediment 14. The longitudinal wave velocities before and after decompression are compared to detect the presence of free gas. In order to ensure complete degassing, this stage is maintained for about 15 hours;

[0047] S5, after degassing, the piston 13 and the seabed sediment 14 are manually contacted, and the change in sample height during the expansion of the seabed sediment 14 is calculated to further deduce the gas saturation of the gas-bearing sediment. According to the consolidation degree of the gaseous sediment before and after the gas escapes, the P-wave velocity and permeability are measured to determine the influence of the shear strength, creep characteristics, and seepage characteristics on the parameters.

[0048] Finally, the study shows that the accumulation trend of excess pore pressure is basically the same under different water depths. As the amount of gas dissipated from aerated soil increases, the excess pore pressure gradually increases, but the accumulation rate gradually slows down. This is because the gas dissipation from aerated soil causes the pressure to increase, and the pressure increase will inhibit the dissipation of subsequent steps. As the pressure continues to increase, the inhibition becomes more obvious, so the value of excess pore pressure in the later stage of dissipation remains basically unchanged. Compared with the cumulative positive value of excess pore pressure, the seawater depth has a greater impact on its accumulation rate. It can be seen that when the water depth is 300m, the accumulation rate is significantly faster than other water depths. This is because when the seawater depth is shallow, the stable zone of aerated soil can release a larger volume of gas under the action of a smaller seawater static pressure. According to the compression-rebound characteristics of the soil, the greater the deformation of the soil, the greater the change in the effective stress of the formation. Therefore, it can be seen that the excess pore pressure accumulates faster when the water depth is 300m:

[0049] from Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can also be seen that when the water depth is 300m, the seabed safety factor first reaches 1, and damage may occur when the gas-bearing soil spill is 2.5%, which also reflects that the accumulation rate of excess pore pressure in the formation is high. The development trend of the excess pore pressure ratio is consistent with the excess pore pressure. This is because the change in water depth has no effect on the initial soil weight of the formation, so the two trends are consistent. In addition, it is found that when the critical damage state is in place, the values ​​of the excess pore pressure ratio in the three formations with different water depths are all 0.5, which also shows that the value of the critical excess pore pressure ratio has nothing to do with the seawater depth. In summary, in the seabed destruction induced by gas spillage of gas-bearing soil, the seawater depth has an impact on the stability of the seabed. The deeper seawater depth has an inhibitory effect on the gas spillage of gas-bearing soil and can enhance the stability of the slope.
