    WATER DEPTH, HEAT FLOW AND CAP ROCK CONTROL ON GAS HYDRATE FORMATION: A CASE FROM THE NORTHERN CONTINENTAL SLOPE OF SOUTH CHINA SEA

    • 摘要: 南海北部陆坡区是中国最具潜力的天然气水合物聚集区。通过对研究区似海底反射层(BSR)、水深及热流值分布进行交会,得到了水深、热流双因素对天然气水合物形成的共同控制机理。研究认为,热流值中等(70~83 mW/m2)的地区最有利于天然气水合物的形成和聚集,热流值升高,天然气水合物形成的水深有总体增大的趋势。另外,天然气水合物的形成也需要良好的盖层条件。模拟了当上覆泥质沉积物盖层厚度不同时,天然气水合物形成所需的最低水深,并对不同泥质沉积物盖层厚度对天然气水合物稳定带底界面和厚度的影响做了研究和探讨。当泥质沉积物盖层的厚度越大时,天然气水合物形成的水深可以更浅;当泥质沉积物盖层厚度较小时,天然气水合物的形成则需要更大的水深。另外,当水深越大时,天然气水合物稳定带的底界面(BGHSZ)越深,天然气水合物稳定带的厚度越大。

       

      Abstract: The northern continental slope of South China Sea is one of the most favorable areas for gas hydrate accumulation in this region. This paper deals with the control of water depth and heat flow over gas hydrate formation through the studies of the relationship among the bottom-simulating reflectors (BSRs), water depth and heat flow. Results show that the moderate heat flow area (70~83 mW/m2) is the most favorable for gas hydrate formation, and the water will become too deep if the heat flow increases. The cap rock is another factor, which plays important role. We discussed in this paper the lowest limit of water depth under different thicknesses of overlying cap rocks. The influence of cap rock thickness is obvious on the base of the gas hydrate stability zone and its thickness. With the water depth increases, the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (BGHSZ) becomes deeper and the thickness of the zone larger.
