Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seabed in-situ natural gas hydrate measurement, in particular to a hydrate measurement device for the resistivity of an angle ring electrode. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas hydrates are recognized as the most promising clean and efficient energy in the world, and the attention and importance paid to natural gas hydrates are constantly increasing worldwide. There are a large number of natural gas hydrate resources in my country's sea areas. In order to better explore the occurrence and distribution of natural gas hydrates and lay the foundation for their rational development in the future, resistivity is currently widely used in the study of natural gas hydrate reservoirs with its highly sensitive electrical response. Bubbles and natural gas hydrates will cause abnormal increase in sediment resistivity. By arranging resistivity probes in a certain arrangement in the area to be monitored, the resistivity values in the horizontal or vertical direction at a certain depth in the area are measured, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional resistivity distribution map of the measurement area, and judging the distribution of hydrates and bubbles by resistivity anomalies.
[0003] The current resistivity measurement devices and methods cannot accurately measure the heterogeneity of hydrate formation and decomposition in seafloor sediments, resulting in large errors in hydrate saturation estimation, which is not conducive to the development and utilization of hydrate resources. The current patent comparison analysis of resistivity measurement probes and detection methods is as follows:
[0004] Invention patent CN202011258781.6, a spiral electrode resistivity probe and its monitoring method. The invention discloses a spiral electrode resistivity probe and its monitoring method, which is composed of a cone-tip probe, a probe body composed of several spiral electrode modules, a probe tail end, an electrode reset device and a penetration device. The invention uses an electrode reset device to enable the probe to switch between penetration mode and measurement mode. When the probe reaches the measurement position, the spiral electrode is converted into a ring electrode, so that the resistivity in the vertical direction can be measured. The device has a simple structure and a clever design. However, its use environment is mainly soil resistivity measurement. The penetration method is that the spiral electrode rotates to penetrate the soil, and when switching from the penetration mode to the measurement mode, the spiral electrode on the outer surface of the probe is deformed into a ring electrode. This series of processes causes a large disturbance to the soil near the outer surface of the probe, which has a great damage to the in-situ measurement environment and is not suitable for use in the seabed environment.
[0005] Invention patent CN202210186613.3, a method for in-situ measurement of the vertical distribution range of seabed bubble-type shallow gas. The invention discloses a method for in-situ measurement of the vertical distribution range of seabed bubble-type shallow gas. The device consists of a top cabin, a probe rod body, a probe body, an electrode sequence, a counterweight, a wire, a battery compartment and a hook; the electrode sequence is an annular electrode array embedded in the outer surface of the probe rod and arranged in a vertical direction. The invention applies the highly sensitive electrical response of resistivity, and uses an annular electrode array to measure the resistivity of sediments and bubble-type shallow gas will increase the resistivity of sediments, and analyzes whether the measured resistivity and resistivity change ratio are abnormal, thereby realizing in-situ and rapid measurement of seabed bubble-type shallow gas. The device can determine the existence of vertical bubbles, but because it uses annular electrodes, the abnormal resistivity value can only determine the presence of bubbles or hydrates around it, and cannot accurately judge the uneven distribution of hydrates, and the resolution is low.
[0006] Invention patent CN202210185900.2, a method for in-situ measurement of bubble-type shallow gas content based on a point electrode probe. The invention discloses a method for in-situ measurement of the content of bubble-type shallow gas in the seabed based on a point electrode probe. The device consists of a top cabin, a probe rod body, a probe body, an electrode sequence, a counterweight, a wire, a battery compartment and a hook; the electrode sequence is an array of point electrodes arranged horizontally on the outer surface of the probe. However, the point electrode has poor monitoring ability for the spatial diffusivity of the permeating gas, and it is difficult to monitor the changes in the gas diffusion channel during the formation and decomposition of hydrates.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a hydrate measuring device for angle ring electrode resistivity includes a probe rod and a probe rod array. The probe rod includes a probe rod exterior and a probe rod interior. The probe rod exterior includes a cone tip probe 3, an angle ring electrode 2, a probe rod body 1, an outer cabin 4, and a first cable 5. The probe rod interior includes a multi-way switch 7, an internal conductor 8, and an electronic cabin 6.

[0024] The outside of the probe rod is connected with a cone tip probe 3 and a probe rod body 1 in sequence from bottom to top, and there are four corner ring electrodes 2, an outer cabin 4 and a first cable 5 in a straight line along the vertical direction of the probe rod.
[0025] The probe rod is internally provided with internal wires 8, a multi-way switch 7 and an electronic compartment 6, which are equal in number to the angle ring electrodes 2, from bottom to top.
[0026] The probe rod array includes the probe rod, the probe rod bracket 10 and the second cable 9 from bottom to top.
