Seismic AVO analysis of methane hydrate structures
Marine seismic data from the Blake Outer Ridge offshore Florida show strong “bottom simulating reflections” (BSR) associated with methane hydrate occurence in deep marine sediments. We use a detailed amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis of these data to explore the validity of models which might explain the origin of the bottom simulating reflector. After careful preprocessing steps, we deter...
متن کاملPore-network study of methane hydrate dissociation.
A two-dimensional pore-network model based on invasion percolation is used to study the patterns obtained from the release of methane during the dissociation of methane hydrates (without including dissociation kinetics) caused by a sudden pressure reduction in the system below the hydrate equilibrium pressure. The concept of the critical gas saturation S(gc) (volume fraction of the gas phase at...
متن کاملDetection and Production of Methane Hydrate
We develop a relationship between the sulfate-methane transition (SMT) and average gas hydrate saturation (AGHS) for systems dominated by methane migration from deeper sources. The relationship is explained by a onedimensional numerical model that simulates gas hydrate accumulation in marine sediments. Higher methane fluxes result in shallow SMT depths and high AGHS, while lower methane fluxes ...
متن کاملEvolution of Phase Transitions in Methane Hydrate
We consider a simplified model of methane hydrates which we cast as a nonlinear evolution problem. For its well-posedness we extend the existing theory to cover the case in which the problem involves a measurable family of graphs. We represent the nonlinearity as a subgradient and prove a useful comparison principle, thus optimal regularity results follow. For the numerical solution we apply a ...
متن کاملAcoustic Determination of Methane Hydrate Dissociation Pressures
The unique nature of the molecular structures of gas hydrates results in curious acoustic properties which have yet to be adequately characterized. Understanding the acoustic behavior of hydrates in liquids, in bubbly liquids, and in sediments containing liquids and/or gas is vital for surveying their location using seismic or echosounding techniques and may become a key tool for monitoring hyd...
