摘要
含水合物松散沉积物的声学特性对海上天然气水合物地球物理勘探和资源评价具有重要意义.研制了适用于高压条件下含水合物沉积物声学特性探测的纵横波一体化新型弯曲元换能器,提出利用频谱分析(FFT)和小波分析(WT)相结合的方法获取纵横波速度,并进行了多个轮次的水合物声学特性模拟实验研究.结果表明,新型弯曲元技术可以灵敏探测松散沉积物中水合物的生成和分解,随着水合物饱和度(Sh)的增大,纵横波速度呈规律性增长:当Sh<25%时,纵横波速度增长较快,水合物可能胶结沉积物颗粒生成;25%~60%之间,声速增长较为缓慢,水合物可能与沉积物颗粒呈接触关系;在Sh>60%时声速随着水合物饱和度增加又快速增长,表明水合物可能重新胶结沉积物颗粒生成.
The acoustic properties of gas hydrate bearing unconsolidated sediments have significance on marine gas hydrate exploration and resources evaluation. In this paper, a new type of bender elements was proposed to measure both compressional wave velocity (Vp) and shear wave velocity (Vs) of hydrate bearing unconsolidated sediments simultaneously under certain pressure and temperature conditions. Combination of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Wavelet Transform (WT) was thought to be an effective method to analyze both Vp and V8 data, based on which several runs of experiments were conducted. The results show that the new bender element technique is efficient in detecting gas hydrate formation and dissociation in unconsolidated sediments. The acoustic velocities of hydrate bearing unconsolidated sediments increase with hydrate saturation (Sh) as follows. When Sh is less than 25~ or more than 60~, Vp and V~ increase fast with Sh, which indicates that hydrate may cement sediment particles. However, when Sh is between 25~ and 60~, Vp and Vs increase little, which indicates that hydrate may partly contact with sediment particles.
