天然气水合物研究中的几个重要问题   总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20  
综述了当前关于天然气水合物研究中的几个重要问题,提出了今后的主要研究方向,全球大约有10^19g碳以天然气水合物的形式储存在沉积物中,大约是其它所有化石燃料沉积物形式储存量的2倍多,因此,天然气水合物被认为是21世纪具有商业开发无景的潜在的战略资源,天然气水合物是一种亚稳态物质,极易受到温度和压力条件的影响,海底天然气水合物的分解将会影响沉积物的物理化学性质(如剪切强度和流变性等),地球物理性质(如地震波速和电导性),以及地球化学性质(如孔隙流体成分)的明显变化,导致诸如海底滑塌等地质灾害的发生,天然气水合物的分解会产生导致“温室效应”的甲烷气体,该气体进入大气圈中会引起全球气候和环境的变化。  相似文献

海底天然气水合物分解与甲烷归宿研究进展   总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5  
综述了近年来天然气水合物分解与甲烷归宿等方面的研究成果。天然气水合物的汇聚与地质构造或地层圈闭有关,其溶解受物质转换控制,分解则受热转换控制。水合物释放甲烷的运移方式包括分散式、中心式和大规模排放式。缺氧氧化和耗氧氧化是甲烷在海洋环境中的2种主要转化方式。天然气水合物释放甲烷的最终归宿主要为:①重新形成天然气水合物;②形成化能自养生物群落和沉淀出碳酸盐沉积;③与氧发生氧化后转变为CO2;④直接排放进入到大气中。沉积物中的微构造、化能自养生物群落、自生碳酸盐矿物及其碳氧同位素组成是水合物释放事件的指纹记录。  相似文献

天然气水合物与全球变化研究   总被引:24,自引:4,他引:24  
天然气水合物含碳量超过全球所有其他来源有机碳的总和,是地圈浅部的极重要碳库。自然界中温压条件的微小变化都会引起天然气水合物的形成或分解,从而吸收或释放甲烷,对全球碳循环和温室效应产生重要影响。天然气水合物对全球气候变化、冰期和间冰期的交替的反馈在极地和中低纬度不同,在中低纬度
也有两种相反的过程,因而对其总效应的方向和强度尚需详细研究和估计。我国许多海区有天然气水合物存在的条件,在南海已有报道;可通过地震剖面的重新判读及数值模拟估计天然气水合物的储藏量和它对海平面变化的反馈,以提供边缘海这类研究的范例。  相似文献

Recent methane inventories have revealed the potential impact of gas hydrates on the global carbon cycle, and hence in climate change (Milkov, 2004). However, only a few studies have traced methane release in the geologic record. Here, we show geochemical evidence for a large scale methane release at mid-latitudes during the last deglaciation. The Sea of Marmara, an enclosed sea between the Mediterranean and Black Seas, is located in a tectonically active basin with gas hydrate expulsion and the formation of shallow gas hydrates. Since depths in the basin are shallower than 1100 m, future global temperatures are expected to have a great influence in destabilizing methane clathrates. Among the suite of biomarkers, we have focused on diplopterol and diploptene profiles in core MD012430, retrieved from the central basin in the Marmara Sea. Our results indicate that during the last 15,000 years, hopanoids showed important concentration variations with a pronounced peak during the deglaciation.The lack of a relationship between diplopterol/diploptene and phytoplanktonic biomarker concentrations, as well as a depleted isotopic composition, have linked the hopanoid maxima to methanotrophic activity, suggesting that an intense methane release occurred at the onset of deglaciation in the Marmara Sea. The vulnerability of the hydrate stability zone to changes in temperature and pressure under this range of shallow water depths, as well as the relative timing of the hopanoid maxima and sea surface temperature rise, points to thermal destabilization of hydrates as a trigger for methane release in the water column.  相似文献

随着海底环境的变化以及全球变暖的加剧,天然气水合物分解释放出大量甲烷到海洋中,其中一部分甲烷会穿过海水释放到大气中,导致大气中的温室气体增加,从而加剧了全球暖化。本文从甲烷的释放和运移路径角度梳理和总结了甲烷对海洋生物的直接和间接影响。首先,水合物分解释放甲烷,在海底形成冷泉渗漏区,滋养了一批特殊的生物群落,而甲烷是其形成生命元素中不可或缺的要素,由此繁衍形成了冷泉生态系统。其次,甲烷释放到海水中会引起海水酸化,海水酸化不仅会导致钙化生物合成碳酸钙外壳受阻,还会加速已生成外壳的溶解。最后,甲烷作为强温室气体释放到大气中还会加剧全球变暖;此外,极地冻土层的融化也会使得冻土区天然气水合物分解,导致大量甲烷进入大气中,从而致使海水暖化,海水的暖化又会对海洋生物的生存、代谢、繁殖、发育和免疫应答等多种生命活动造成影响。以上认识为进一步研究甲烷对未来海洋生态系统的影响提供重要参考信息。  相似文献

在放置于恒温室内的真空装置内,对合成的冰粉-气体水合物(包括甲烷、乙烷、丙烷、正丁烷-氮气、异丁烷、混合气水合物)、冰粉-不同粒度多孔介质甲烷水合物和祁连山冻土区及南海神狐海域天然气水合物进行了分解实验研究,初步探讨了不同气体水合物分解动力学特征和分解规律。实验结果表明,合成的冰粉-气体水合物的分解过程相似,除丙烷水合物和异丁烷水合物外,分解压力基本呈单调增长,均未出现明显的自保护效应;不同粒度多孔介质中甲烷水合物分解过程,压力增长呈现“快→慢→快”的特点,主要原因可能是多孔介质中的水合物尺寸较大,分解时更易产生自保护效应;祁连山冻土区天然气水合物的分解压力曲线与不同粒度多孔介质中甲烷水合物的相似,总体呈现“快→慢→快”的特点,水合物自保护效应明显;南海神狐海域天然气水合物分解气体压力变化虽然总体与祁连山冻土区天然气水合物压力增长过程相似,但同时呈现“阶梯状”增长,这可能与两种不同水合物岩心的岩性和水合物在岩心中的分布模式和赋存状态有关。  相似文献

Natural gas hydrates have been hailed as a new and promising unconventional alternative energy, especially as fossil fuels approach depletion, energy consumption soars, and fossil fuel prices rise, owing to their extensive distribution, abundance, and high fuel efficiency. Gas hydrate reservoirs are similar to a storage cupboard in the global carbon cycle, containing most of the world’s methane and accounting for a third of Earth’s mobile organic carbon. We investigated gas hydrate stability zone burial depths from the viewpoint of conditions associated with stable existence of gas hydrates, such as temperature, pressure, and heat flow, based on related data collected by the global drilling programs. Hydrate-related areas are estimated using various biological, geochemical and geophysical tools. Based on a series of previous investigations, we cover the history and status of gas hydrate exploration in the USA, Japan, South Korea, India, Germany, the polar areas, and China. Then, we review the current techniques for hydrate exploration in a global scale. Additionally, we briefly review existing techniques for recovering methane from gas hydrates, including thermal stimulation, depressurization, chemical injection, and CH4–CO2 exchange, as well as corresponding global field trials in Russia, Japan, United States, Canada and China. In particular, unlike diagenetic gas hydrates in coarse sandy sediments in Japan and gravel sediments in the United States and Canada, most gas hydrates in the northern South China Sea are non-diagenetic and exist in fine-grained sediments with a vein-like morphology. Therefore, especially in terms of the offshore production test in gas hydrate reservoirs in the Shenhu area in the north slope of the South China Sea, Chinese scientists have proposed two unprecedented techniques that have been verified during the field trials: solid fluidization and formation fluid extraction. Herein, we introduce the two production techniques, as well as the so-called “four-in-one” environmental monitoring system employed during the Shenhu production test. Methane is not currently commercially produced from gas hydrates anywhere in the world; therefore, the objective of field trials is to prove whether existing techniques could be applied as feasible and economic production methods for gas hydrates in deep-water sediments and permafrost zones. Before achieving commercial methane recovery from gas hydrates, it should be necessary to measure the geologic properties of gas hydrate reservoirs to optimize and improve existing production techniques. Herein, we propose horizontal wells, multilateral wells, and cluster wells improved by the vertical and individual wells applied during existing field trials. It is noteworthy that relatively pure gas hydrates occur in seafloor mounds, within near-surface sediments, and in gas migration conduits. Their extensive distribution, high saturation, and easy access mean that these types of gas hydrate may attract considerable attention from academia and industry in the future. Herein, we also review the occurrence and development of concentrated shallow hydrate accumulations and briefly introduce exploration and production techniques. In the closing section, we discuss future research needs, key issues, and major challenges related to gas hydrate exploration and production. We believe this review article provides insight on past, present, and future gas hydrate exploration and production to provide guidelines and stimulate new work into the field of gas hydrates.  相似文献

天然气水合物的特征及环境意义   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
天然气水合物是由甲烷等气体和水分子组成的类冰状的固态物质,主要分布在极地永冻层和外大陆架边缘的海洋沉积物中,赋存在天然气水合物中的碳约为10^13吨,相当于全球其他化石燃料中碳含量的两倍,由于天然气水合物处于亚稳定状态。因此天然气水合物既可作为21世纪潜在能源资源,又可以非稳定状态导致海底滑塌和滑坡等地质灾害,并可通过释放甲烷影响全球气候。  相似文献

The gas seeps in Kolyma lowland are associated with methane inclusions in permafrost. These inclusions are formed by methane squeezed by epigenetic freezing of methane saturated deposits. This is proved by the biological genesis of the methane, by the isotopic data and the lower radiocarbon age of the methane from the gas seep in comparison with the radiocarbon age of the host deposits. The experimental data and observations of methane distribution in permafrost indicate that the methane distribution in the stratum of frozen deposits is a result of methane migration during cryolithogenesis. The regularities of methane distribution in the deposits and formation of methane inclusions may change the idea of the character and volumes of emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere upon degradation of permafrost.  相似文献

This study provides new estimates for the global offshore methane hydrate inventory formed due to microbial CH4 production under Quaternary and Holocene boundary conditions. A multi-1D model for particular organic carbon (POC) degradation, gas hydrate formation and dissolution is presented. The novel reaction-transport model contains an open three-phase system of two solid compounds (organic carbon, gas hydrates), three dissolved species (methane, sulfates, inorganic carbon) and one gaseous phase (free methane). The model computes time-resolved concentration profiles for all compounds by accounting for chemical reactions as well as diffusive and advective transport processes. The reaction module builds upon a new kinetic model of POC degradation which considers a down-core decrease in reactivity of organic matter. Various chemical reactions such as organic carbon decay, anaerobic oxidation of methane, methanogenesis, and sulfate reduction are resolved using appropriate kinetic rate laws and constants. Gas hydrates and free gas form if the concentration of dissolved methane exceeds the pressure, temperature, and salinity-dependent solubility limits of hydrates and/or free gas, with a rate given by kinetic parameters. Global input grids have been compiled from a variety of oceanographic, geological and geophysical data sets including a new parameterization of sedimentation rates in terms of water depth.We find prominent gas hydrate provinces offshore Central America where sediments are rich in organic carbon and in the Arctic Ocean where low bottom water temperatures stabilize methane hydrates. The world’s total gas hydrate inventory is estimated at (at STP conditions) or, equivalently, 4.18-995 Gt of methane carbon. The first value refers to present day conditions estimated using the relatively low Holocene sedimentation rates; the second value corresponds to a scenario of higher Quaternary sedimentation rates along continental margins.Our results clearly show that in-situ POC degradation is at present not an efficient hydrate forming process. Significant hydrate deposits in marine settings are more likely to have formed at times of higher sedimentation during the Quaternary or as a consequence of upward fluid transport at continental margins.  相似文献

天然气水合物成因探讨   总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18  
天然气水合物是未来的能源资源。其分布于极地地区、深海地区及深水湖泊中。在海洋里,天然气水合物主要分布于外大陆边缘和洋岛的周围,其分布与近代火山的分布范围具有一致性。同位素组成表明天然气水合物甲烷主要是由自养产甲烷菌还原CO2形成的。典型的大陆边缘沉积物有机碳含量低(<0.5%~1.0%),不足以产生天然气水合物带高含量的甲烷。赋存天然气水合物的沉积物时代主要为晚中新世-晚上新世,具有一定的时限性,并且天然气水合物与火山灰或火山砂共存,表明其形成与火山-热液体系有一定联系。火山与天然气水合物空间上的一致性表明,天然气水合物甲烷的底物可能主要是由洋底火山喷发带来的CO2。由前人研究结果推断 HCO3在脱去两个O原子的同时,可能发生了亲核重排,羟基 H原子迁移到 C原子上,形成了甲酰基(HCO),使甲烷的第一个 H原子来源于水。探讨了甲烷及其水合物的形成机制,提出了天然气水合物成因模型。  相似文献

垃圾填埋场服役期间会因微生物降解有机物释放大量甲烷,即使有气体收集装置,仍有甲烷逃逸到大气中。甲烷气体是造成温室效应的重要气体之一。甲烷氧化菌是以甲烷为唯一碳源的微生物,具有其优良的甲烷氧化效能。在中小型填埋场、老旧填埋场及开启集气装置已不再经济的大型填埋场,可在填埋场覆层中掺入甲烷氧化菌,对甲烷进行生物氧化,减少垃圾填埋场的甲烷释放量,从而减少温室效应,达到环保的目的。文章回顾了近些年国内外对甲烷氧化菌及其甲烷氧化效能的相关研究,对甲烷氧化菌的分类及其甲烷氧化机理,影响甲烷氧化菌氧化效能的因素以及甲烷氧化菌在垃圾填埋场中的应用等研究成果进行了总结,并对其今后的研究和应用提出了展望。  相似文献

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments, most obviously at cold seeps, is a major sink for this important greenhouse gas and is associated with the precipitation of carbonates. The geological record of seep carbonates provides insights into the long-term dynamics of this process. Since the Late Jurassic, rates of seep-carbonate precipitation have been high during times of low sea levels and cold deep-water temperatures, and vice versa. One possibility is that sea-level fall decreases the thickness of the methane hydrate stability zone in the sediment so that gas hydrates decompose in deeper sediments, thereby increasing seepage and carbonate precipitation. Alternatively, low deep-water temperature facilitates gas hydrate formation on continental slopes and may thereby increase methane availability for AOM-performing consortia and associated carbonate precipitation. These correlations and their potential causes may be of interest for the modelling of global carbon budgets and of past and future climates.  相似文献
