本文通过对南海东北部陆坡区浅地层剖面资料的处理,结合横跨陆坡区的长地震测线,总结了该区浅层气聚集、海底流体运移、泥火山和冷泉活动在浅地层剖面中的特征,并对剖面中出现的声学空白带现象做了分类.研究认为浊反射、增强反射等现象,反映了该区域存在广泛的浅层气聚集.对声学空白带成因的分析,认为窄空白带很可能对应海底流体运移的通道,而宽空白带则可能由沿地层分布的浅层气引起,同时提出了自生碳酸盐岩体散落分布造成声学空白的可能性.我们在南海东北部陆坡区发现了泥火山,并讨论了其运移通道及对BSR的破坏.同时发现研究区水体中存在声学异常体,推断为冷泉羽状流,指示该区存在活动的冷泉.本文依托大量的浅地层剖面数据,对南海东北部陆坡区的冷泉系统有了较全面的认识,对冷泉系统剖面特征的成因进行了初步探讨,可为南海冷泉系统研究的进一步开展提供有益参考. 相似文献

海底渗漏的羽状流是沉积层赋存天然气水合物的重要证据之一,基于非线性水声学原理的参量阵浅地层剖面仪作为海洋探测的重要设备,对于获得羽状流在水体中的物性特征和渗漏点的浅地层信息有着重大意义.本文根据ATLAS P70浅地层剖面仪在马克兰海域调查中得到的浅地层剖面数据,结合多道地震数据、多波束数据以及地质样品等资料,刻画了研究区内羽状流形态特征,分析了羽状流区海底地层流体运移的通道以及近海底微地形地貌特征.通过研究发现在羽状流区伴随泥火山喷发,自生碳酸盐岩发育,剥蚀海底松散沉积物形成大小不一的麻坑,滋生生物群落等特征.反映在浅剖初始高频(20 kHz)数据界面上羽状流表现为柱状浑浊反射异常,形态呈火焰状,高度由80 m到1500 m不等;对应在次级低频(4 kHz)信号界面可以清晰显示流体渗漏的浅地层结构特征,从中不仅可以识别出流体的运移通道,如泥火山和管状通道等,而且揭示了流体逸散的残留地貌,如麻坑构造和海底滑坡等.本文依托参量阵浅地层剖面数据,对巴基斯坦马克兰海域羽状流有了较全面的认识,为天然气水合物的研究垫定了基础. 相似文献

海底流体逃逸活动对海洋油气勘探、天然气水合物勘查和试采、海底固体矿产勘探与全球气候变化研究等方面具有重要意义.理解海底流体逃逸活动规律,研究流体逃逸活动演化过程,并建立综合探测体系显得尤为重要.本文系统梳理了海底流体逃逸活动在海底可视技术、综合声学水体成像技术、"磁亮点"技术以及卫星遥感技术等相关探测方法下的不同地球物理响应.分析认为,海底流体逃逸活动容易改变海底地层的物理性质和形态,在地震剖面和声学图像上表现为独特的流体异常反射特征和声学响应;烃渗漏形成烃蚀变带,在航磁图像上表现为弱磁异常;渗漏油膜在SAR卫星图像上表现为黑色斑块;天然地震控制下的断裂带流体逃逸活动在临震时震中附近在热红外图像上表现为亮温异常.结合不同探测方法的探测效率和优势特征,提出了利用卫星遥感和"磁亮点"等方法进行平面约束预测,用剖面或立体声学水体成像数据进行海底流体活动确认,再通过海底可视数据进行精细探测的综合地球物理探测方法,为深入研究海底流体活动系统理论提供参考,同时指出流体逃逸活动研究的相关方向. 相似文献

近年来,活动冷泉的研究越来越受到关注.本文利用多波束数据、多道地震数据以及底质取样结果研究琼东南海域活动冷泉系统,分析活动冷泉的羽状流特征、海底地貌与底质特征以及流体活动构造特征.多波束水体数据上,观测到多个延伸高度超过750 m的气泡羽状流,海底流体活动非常强烈;多道地震上识别出麻坑、流体运移通道、气烟囱等流体渗漏相关的构造,与其他海域观测到的反射特征不同,羽状流的下方流体运移通道呈强振幅"串珠"反射;重力活塞取样在两个站位上获得浅表层块状天然气水合物.其中一个站位位于活动冷泉附近,天然气水合物赋存于海底以下8 m左右.基于以上三方面的数据,笔者提出了一个用于描述活动冷泉系统的形成模式,游离气通过气烟囱向上运移到达浅层,一部分在天然气水合物稳定带内形成天然气水合物,另一部分穿透天然气水合物稳定带到达海底,形成活动冷泉的羽状流. 相似文献

海底天然气渗漏是在海洋环境中广泛分布的自然现象.海底天然气渗漏可以指示沉积层中的烃类聚集带,渗漏出的大量气体（主要是甲烷）可能影响全球的气候变化,此外,与海底渗漏相关的浅层气改变了海底沉积物的土工性质,可能对海底工程构成威胁.因此海底渗漏研究意义重大.海底天然气渗漏不仅影响海底沉积物的物理性质,而且还极大地改变海底地形地貌,它能在海底形成麻坑、泥火山、冷泉碳酸盐岩以及化学自养生物群落等现象.在海底渗漏发生的地方,地形地貌特征可以在海洋测深和逆向散射数据上得到反映;沉积物的声学特征可以在地震剖面上得到反映,如形成声混浊、声空白、亮点、多次波、速度下拉等;有些渗漏在海面形成油渍膜,油渍膜可以在合成孔径雷达图像上得到反映.根据海底渗漏的上述地球物理特征,可以识别出可能渗漏区域,海底渗漏的证实需要用到海底观测和取样分析资料. 相似文献

本文利用新的高分辨率海底多波束地形数据与以往研究资料对南海台西南盆地及以西和中建南盆地北部及以北陆缘区域内的麻坑与泥火山分布区进行了统计、分析与总结.本文提出根据麻坑的个体平面形态、规模量级和组合形式建立麻坑的三类分类体系并进行总结阐述.麻坑的直径与坑深总体具有线性变化关系但又有区域性分布特征,可能反映了不同海区底质性质、浅地层构造活动、海底倾斜程度和海底底流等因素的不同影响;同一区域泥火山的直径与高度具有线性关系而不同区域拟合斜率差异较大,可能说明同区域泥火山形态、流体成分和来源具有高度一致性,但其分布具有区域差异性特征.研究表明,麻坑、泥火山的产生与近5Ma新构造运动期内台湾南部和南海西缘区域性走滑断裂活动相一致,主要分布在构造活动较为活跃,沉积较为薄弱的近坡折带和大陆坡区域,在具有走滑性质的台西南、莺歌海和中建南盆地分布较广、规模较大,而在其他主要张裂性质盆地中分布较少,规模较小.其分布特征一方面能够说明某些区域流体的大量渗漏与逸散,另一方面也能够说明某些区域持续的构造活动有利于该区域深部流体的重新聚集与成藏,从而成为指导油气资源勘探的重要参考指标. 相似文献

根据游离气运移的控制机制,可以将海域水合物藏划分为汇聚高通量型和分散低通量型.在汇聚高通量型水合物藏中,流体很容易突破上覆沉积层的压力,直达浅层,在海底及其附近留下一系列的地貌-地质-地球物理异常.通过对珠江口盆地东部海域钻前资料的精细解释,在海底及浅表层发现了大量的与高通量流体运移有关的这类异常,包括具有侵入构造特征的海底丘状体、BSR之上的亮点反射、浅表层的相位反转以及断层与隆起组成的高效流体运聚系统.2013年在珠江口盆地东部海域实施的中国第二个水合物钻探航次(GMGS2),使得有机会对这些异常进行详细研究.钻后测井岩芯及地化数据表明,部署在这些异常上的站位均存在高通量流体运移的现象,因此具有侵入构造特征的海底丘状体即水合物丘、BSR之上的亮点反射,以及断层与隆起组成的高效流体运聚系统可以作为高通量流体运移的识别标志.通过钻探区水合物的分布特征的研究,发现高通量流体向上运移过程中,在深部与浅部地层中的运移模式存在差异,深部主要以气溶水的形式进行运移,而浅部主要以单独气相的形式进行运移,正是这种运移模式的差异,导致在钻探区形成上下双层结构的高饱和度水合物藏.这些高通量流体识别标志及其运移模式的发现,将有助于水合物钻探站位选取以及降低水合物钻探风险. 相似文献

海洋环境中天然气水合物层是理想的毛细管封闭层,游离气被抑制在水合物层下,游离气层的气体压力随气体聚集和气层厚度的增加而升高,当气压超过封闭层的毛细管力时,游离气会克服毛细管进入压力、刺入上伏封闭层孔隙空间,毛细管封闭作用随之消失,从而形成水合物下伏游离气向海底的渗漏.通过对该过程进行的数值模拟计算表明：渗漏气体是以活塞式驱动上伏沉积层中的孔隙水向海底排出,水合物稳定带内流体渗漏速度随水流柱高度的减小而增加,当水流阻抗大于相应沉积层段的静岩压力时,沉积层将转变为流沙,流沙沉积被海流移除后便在海底留下凹陷麻坑.麻坑形成后流体运移通道演化为气体通道,气体快速排放.麻坑深度主要取决于游离气层的厚度和水合物封闭层（底界）的深度,而与沉积层的渗透率无关.麻坑深度一定程度上指示了渗漏前水合物层下伏游离气层的资源量.对布莱克海台海底麻坑深度的数值模拟计算表明,形成4 m深的海底麻坑需要至少22 m厚的游离气层. 相似文献

海洋地球物理以物理学的思维与方法研究占地球三分之二面积的海洋系统.20世纪地球科学迅猛发展，它的重大进展是海底扩张说与板块构造说的出现和海底大洋的发现，以及前者所引发的地球科学思想革命，从固定论向活动论的思维转变.海底研究对于20世纪地球科学发展的贡献极为巨大，而海洋地球物理是推动海底科学研究的重要原动力.海洋地球物理在20世纪地球科学的发展中有过辉煌的成就，占有十分重要的地位；在新的21世纪里，海洋地球物理研究仍然保持着前沿科学的地位，继续推动着地球科学的进展.目前的海底探测主要还是依赖于声学探测技术.水下声学定位技术是实现水下探测系统精确定位和海底高精度探测的基础.传统性的海洋地震探测技术是研究海底构造与海洋岩石圈深部结构和寻找海底矿产的主力技术，它近年来无论在海上采集技术还是数据处理技术方面都发展得很快.多波束测深、侧扫声呐测图和海底地层剖面测量等则是近数十年快速发展起来探测海底浅部结构信息的技术.这些技术已经在当代海底科学研究、海底资源勘查、海洋工程和海洋开发，以及海洋军事活动等方面发挥出极其重要的作用. 相似文献

Acoustic seabed segmentation from direct statistical clustering of entire multibeam sonar backscatter curves 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
A fast, simple method is presented to obtain acoustic seabed segmentation from multibeam sonar backscatter data, for situations where processed backscatter curves are already available. Unsupervised statistical clustering is used to classify multibeam sonar backscatter curves in their entirety, with the curves essentially treated as geometrical entities. High variability in the backscatter curves is removed by along-track averaging prior to clustering, and no further preprocessing is required. The statistical clustering method is demonstrated with RESON 8125 multibeam sonar data obtained in two bathymetrically complex environments. These are a sandwave field in Keppel Bay, Queensland, and an area of inter-island sand, reef, seagrass, and rhodolith beds in Esperance Bay, Western Australia. The resulting acoustic charts are visually compelling. They exhibit high spatial coherence, are largely artifact free, and provide spatial context to comparatively sparse grab samples with relatively little effort. Since the backscatter curve is an intrinsic property of the seafloor, the mappings form standalone charts of seafloor acoustic properties. In themselves they do not need ground truthing. Conceptually, use of the full angular backscatter curve should form the primary means of obtaining acoustic seabed segmentation. However, this is dependent on the scale and configuration of seabed backscatter features compared to the dimensions of the averaged swathe used to obtain reliable realisations of the backscatter curve. 相似文献

During August 1994 to March 1995, a period that included ODP Leg 158 drilling, bottom-water and sub-bottom temperatures were continuously logged by a long-term temperature monitoring system ‘Daibutsu’ at the base of the central black-smoker complex (CBC) and within the low heat flow zone at the TAG hydrothermal mound on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The temperature of hydrothermal fluid at CBC was also measured with a small high-temperature probe ‘Hobo’. Bottom-water temperature variations measured with Daibutsu at both sites have predominant semi-diurnal periods, causing the sub-bottom temperatures to fluctuate at these periods with reduced amplitudes and phase delays at sub-bottom depths. Seawater entrainment into the mound has been previously suggested at the low heat flow zone. We quantitatively evaluate the seawater entrainment rate at both sites from a one-dimensional numerical model, combined with a heat conduction model for the semi-diurnal variations. The entrainment rate of seawater at the base of CBC is estimated as 1.3±0.5×10−5 m/s, at least from August 17 to 30, 1994. On the other hand, the seawater entrainment rate at the low heat flow zone was undetected by long-term temperature monitoring at shallow sub-bottom depth. Nevertheless an increase in heat flow observed at the low heat flow zone during ODP drilling can be interpreted as a decrease in the entrainment rate of seawater. Before ODP Leg 158, Daibutsu measured three sub-bottom temperature anomalies at the base of CBC not derived from bottom-water temperature variations and Hobo also detected a CBC fluid temperature anomaly, indicating some natural changes in fluid flow within the mound. Daibutsu and Hobo also measured temperature anomalies during and after drilling at the ODP TAG-1 area. The Hobo temperature anomalies are inferred to have occurred when the cold fluid entrained through the drill holes at TAG-1 site reached or cooled the main fluid path to CBC. The entrained seawater through the drill holes appears to have contributed to dissolution and precipitation of anhydrite within the mound and perhaps affected the local permeability structure inside the mound. The temperature anomalies measured with Daibutsu at the base of CBC may have been induced by the change in the fluid flow pattern as a result of such permeability changes within the mound. 相似文献

Shallow gas accumulations and gas seepage may indicate deeper hydrocarbon reservoirs. Sonar and high resolution seismic recordings were carried out to obtain gas migration and accumulation below seabed in Northeast Persian Gulf. Results revealed some structures and reflectivity effects, for example few pockmarks, gas seepage, and other surface structures in sonar and seismic data. Most of the features observed on seismic data were located at depths between 5 and 10 m (sub-sea bed) that include acoustic blanking and turbidity, gas packets, gas chimneys, and enhanced reflection. Most of the gas is accumulated on young and thin parallel layers, but the presence of acoustic effect in Aghajari Formation indicates that the origin of the gas accumulation in shallow strata may be located in a deeper reservoir. 相似文献

A method that links acoustic mapping data to underwater video observations of seafloor substrate is described for use in defining fish habitat. Three study areas in the Aleutian Islands were acoustically mapped using sidescan and multibeam sonar. The sidescan sonar data were used to compute average reflectivity (hardness) and seafloor complexity. The multibeam depth data were used to determine local slope, rugosity (seafloor roughness) and relative height. Underwater video was collected from three to four transects in each of the three study areas. The underwater video was used to classify the seafloor into nine observed primary and secondary substrate classes. A statistical relationship between the observed (video) and the remotely sensed (acoustic) seafloor characteristics was estimated using a classification tree. The best classification tree utilized rugosity, reflectivity and complexity data and produced misclassification rates of less than 25% overall. Mean grain size of sediment samples was not strongly related to the acoustic data. Error rates were highest for those substrate classes with the smallest number of data points. The results highlight the need for adequate sample sizes and coverage of all potential substrate types when groundtruthing acoustic maps. 相似文献

麻坑通常是由海底流体逸散形成的一种海底表面的残留地貌.本文所研究的区域主要位于南海的西北部,包括琼东南盆地的西南部和中建南盆地的中北部.该区域海底表面主要覆盖细粒沉积物,并且底流活动强烈,底流水道发育,为麻坑的形成和发育提供了有利条件.麻坑发育的主要因素是流体逸散系统,本文通过反射地震资料在本区发现了断层、气烟囱、泥火山、泥底辟、声空白/声混浊、强反射等多种与流体逸散相关的指示特征.麻坑的几何特征随着区域的不同会有较大变化.首先本区麻坑的尺寸跨度较大,与底流水道伴生的麻坑和广乐隆起的麻坑表面宽度通常是几十米到数百米,其他区域麻坑的表面宽度通常可达数千米,被称为巨型麻坑.其次本区麻坑的表面形态复杂多样,有圆形、椭圆形、新月形、环形等.各种不同的形态有可能指示了麻坑的不同发育阶段,新月形麻坑可能发育程度较低,其次是环形,圆形则相对较为成熟.据此推断发育程度较低的新月形麻坑有可能是活动麻坑,而地震海洋学的资料也倾向于证实这一点. 相似文献

Pockmarks are prominent features on the seafloor at two main regions of the North Sea, the South Fladen area and the Norwegian Trench. The pockmarks vary in size from 5 m across to about 150 m and in depth from 1 m to about 20 m. Some of the features consist of several very small ‘unit-pockmarks’. These are probably gas-induced erosion features and found only in soft, finegrained, marine and glaciomarine sediments. They are probably caused by shallow- or deep-seated gas (or fluid) release through the seabed, whereby the finest particles are thrown into suspension and redistributed by nearbottom currents. On the North Sea Plateau a small pockmarked area has recently been found. A close relationship exists here between mobile gas in the upper sediments, faulting in the soft sediments and the morphology of the seabed. Other morphological features in the North Sea such as ‘coast parallel depressions’ and ‘elongated depressions’ or terraces are also interpreted here as gas-induced erosion products. This applies, yet again, to the ‘mottled seabed’ features, which appear as patches of high reflectivity on side scan sonar records from the North Sea Plateau; they correspond to shallow seabed depressions on the deep towed boomer records. Judging from reported observations from several shallow seas world wide volatile transport through the seabed is probably quite common and several morphological features are undoubtably induced by this process. Several erosion features of similar origin are probably common, also, in deep ocean basins. 相似文献
