自生黄铁矿是渗漏甲烷发生甲烷厌氧氧化和硫酸盐还原作用的产物之一,是海底甲烷渗漏活动的有效示踪剂。南海神狐海域是我国天然气水合物研究的重点区域,对神狐海域柱状沉积物中自生黄铁矿含量、分布、形貌等特征进行研究,结果发现自生黄铁矿的含量随深度增加而递增,存在两个异常富集峰段:在第一个黄铁矿富集峰段,黄铁矿以长条状为主,外形较粗,微晶形态以草莓状黄铁矿为主,且粒径均一;在第二个峰段主要以细长的条状黄铁矿为主,由带外壳结构的草莓球颗粒组成,晶粒大小不一,存在二次生长现象。另外还发现胶黄铁矿与自生黄铁矿共生。这些特征反映神狐海域沉积物中存在多期次的甲烷渗漏事件,高通量的甲烷渗漏发生在较浅的层位,可能发生甲烷的有氧氧化而变成缺氧环境,有利于黄铁矿富集在第一个峰段;较低的甲烷渗漏发生在较深的层位,甲烷厌氧氧化和硫酸盐还原作用而形成大量的黄铁矿保存在第二个峰段。因此,神狐海域沉积物中自生黄铁矿的异常富集可以作为地质历史时期甲烷渗漏通量和期次的指示矿物之一。  相似文献

海底水合物形成分解/甲烷渗漏的甲烷以及相关的生物地球化学过程可能对海底的沉积环境产生影响,因此识别水合物的形成分解/甲烷渗漏对海洋沉积环境改造有助于了解水合物成藏特征及其形成分解过程。选取南海北部神狐海域2007年水合物钻探区的SH3钻孔沉积物为研究对象,对SH3钻孔岩心的碳硫数据、主微量元素,尤其是氧化还原敏感元素(U、Mo、U/Mo、V/Sr)进行分析测试,同时结合SH3钻孔孔隙水数据和前人对神狐水合物钻探区的研究成果等进行对比研究。结果表明南海北部神狐海域沉积物来源除河流沉积物以外,同时还有少量中国黄土以及大陆岛弧的长英质岩浆岩沉积物;通过对U、Mo、U/Mo以及碳硫数据分析,发现SH3钻孔在10~25mbsf(meter below the seafloor)层位为硫酸盐驱动的甲烷厌氧氧化作用(Anaerobic oxidation of methane,AOM)造成的还原沉积环境,AOM作用导致了在这一层位发生了LREE/HREE、MREE/HREE的分馏;SH3钻孔沉积物在约180~215mbsf的含水合物层位出现了浊流沉积的次氧化的沉积环境,同时其赋存的细粒沉积环境也导致了轻重稀土元素的分馏,与水合物饱和度存在一定的相关性。  相似文献

阿拉伯海马克兰海域是具有天然气水合物勘查潜力的重要区域之一。对该海域G16站位沉积物样品的碎屑矿物、钼、有机碳和顶空气甲烷含量以及孔隙水总碱度和阴阳离子等地球化学特征进行综合分析。结果表明:Mg_(2+)和Ca_(2+)的浓度随深度明显降低,总碱度、Mg_(2+)/Ca_(2+)随深度显著增加;在硫酸盐-甲烷界面(SMI),SO_4(2-))的浓度线性降低至0.31 mmol/L,甲烷含量急剧增加至784μmol/L,黄铁矿含量达到最大值并形成一个Mo峰。研究区硫酸根浓度线性降低和强烈亏损梯度以及Mg_2~+、Ca_(2+)、总碱度和有机碳含量的变化特征,指示研究区存在强烈的甲烷厌氧氧化反应(AOM),并形成浅的SMI(估算深度4.62 mbsf)。孔隙水样品的地球化学异常与沉积物自生黄铁矿和Mo含量存在耦合现象,表明本站位深部沉积物中可能赋存有天然气水合物藏。  相似文献

天然气水合物作为一种新型的清洁能源,其形成需要稳定的有机质供应。南海北部神狐海域为天然气水合物成藏的有利区域,2017年中国地质调查局在神狐海域水合物试采获得突破性成功。为了进一步了解古环境和古生产率对形成水合物有机质供应的影响,对南海北部神狐海域水合物钻探区SH3站位180～215mbsf(meters below the sea floor)层位,尤其是水合物主要赋存层位190～200mbsf的古环境、古生产率以及陆源碎屑物质的地球化学指标进行分析研究。研究表明水合物主要赋存层位陆源碎屑物质(TDM)输入增加,较高的陆源碎屑物质输入和次氧化的沉积环境共同造就了比较好的有机质的外部保存条件;同时较强的水动力条件,有利于藻类生物的繁殖,因此,生物成因有机质比较丰富,再加上神狐海域有比较良好的热解气的形成条件,这3个层面共同保证了神狐海域具有比较充足的有机质供应。  相似文献

神狐海域天然气水合物的特征及其气源   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
我国天然气水合物首钻的钻探结果显示,南海北部陆坡神狐海域的天然气水合物呈分散浸染状分布在以粗粉砂、中粉砂、细粉砂和极细粉砂为主要组分的松散沉积物中。沉积物顶空气组成分析显示,神狐钻探区沉积物中的游离气体主要是烃类气体,另外也有微量的CO2,其中,甲烷含量界于62.11%~99.91%之间,平均含量达到了98.04%。而天然气水合物的气体同位素组成显示,神狐海域形成天然气水合物的烃类气体主要是微生物通过CO2还原的形式生成。在此基础上,进一步分析了神狐海域研究区上中新统上部和上新统微生物成因甲烷的生产力,认为神狐海域具备良好的适合微生物成因甲烷大量生成的地质条件。  相似文献

硫酸盐-甲烷界面在富甲烷和含天然气水合物的海洋沉积区已经成为一个重要的生物地球化学识别边界.在硫酸盐-甲烷界面之上,沉积物中的硫酸盐因参与分解有机质和甲烷厌氧氧化反应而被消耗,而界面之下沉积物中的甲烷则不断生成,含量逐渐增加.根据该界面附近硫酸盐浓度和甲烷浓度的变化特征,可以判断该区甲烷流体通量的大小,从而指示下伏天然气水合物的可能赋存状况.南海北部陆坡的柱状沉积物孔隙水数据的分析显示,其硫酸盐-甲烷界面埋深比较浅,表明该海域的甲烷通量较高.这种高甲烷通量很可能是由下伏的天然气水合物所引起的,并暗示着该区下伏海底可能有天然气水合物沉积层赋存.  相似文献

SH-CL13、SH-CL16与SH-CL17站位位于南海北部神狐东南海域BSR发育区内。地球化学分析结果显示,SH-CL16与SH-CL17柱状样孔隙水中的氯离子(Cl~-)浓度及氢同位素(δD)值分别随深度明显降低和升高,指示下伏沉积物可能发育水合物。3个站位的浅表层沉积物甲烷通量很低,甲烷通量的大小控制了SMI的深浅和硫酸盐通量。孔隙水SO_4~(2-)浓度变化趋势及δ~(13)C_(DIC)值表明,在浅表层沉积物中硫酸盐消耗均由有机质硫酸盐还原作用(OSR)所控制,甲烷缺氧氧化作用(AOM)发生在较深的层位。综合地球化学和地球物理研究成果,3个站位位于水合物有利发育区内,由此推测神狐东南海域可能发育扩散型水合物,具有良好的水合物勘探前景。  相似文献

The Shenhu area is one of the most favorable places for the occurrence of gas hydrates in the northern continental slope of the South China Sea. Pore water samples were collected in two piston cores (SH-A and SH-B) from this area, and the concentrations of sulfate and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and its carbon isotopic composition were measured. The data revealed large DIC variations and very negative δ 13C-DIC values. Two reaction zones, 0–3 mbsf and below 3 mbsf, are identified in the sediment system. At site SH-A, the upper zone (0–3 mbsf) shows relatively constant sulfate and DIC concentrations and δ 13C-DIC values, possibly due to bioturbation and fluid advection. The lower zone (below 3 mbsf) displays good linear gradients for sulfate and DIC concentrations, and δ 13C-DIC values. At site SH-B, both zones show linear gradients, but the decreasing gradients for δ 13C-DIC and SO4 2− in the lower zone below 3 mbsf are greater than those from the upper zone, 0–3 mbsf. The calculated sulfate-methane interface (SMI) depths of the two cores are 10.0 m and 11.1 m, respectively. The depth profiles of both DIC and δ 13C-DIC showed similar characteristics as those in other gas hydrate locations in the world oceans, such as the Blake Ridge. Overall, our results indicate an anaerobic methane oxidation (AMO) process in the sediments with large methane flux from depth in the studied area, which might be linked to the formation of gas hydrates in this area.  相似文献

The accretionary wedge of offshore southwestern Taiwan contains abundant deposits of gas hydrate beneath the sea floor. High concentrations of methane in pore waters are observed at several locations with little data concerning historical methane venting available. To understand temporal variation of methane venting in sediments over geologic time, a 23-m-long Calypso piston core (MD05-2911) was collected on the flank of the Yung-An Ridge. Pore water sulfate, dissolved sulfide, dissolved iron, methane, sedimentary pyrite, acid volatile sulfide, reactive iron, organic carbon and nitrogen as well as carbonate δ13C were analyzed.Three zones with markedly different pyrite concentration were found at the study site. Unit I sediments (>20 mbsf) were characterized with a high amount of pyrite (251–380 μmol/g) and a δ13C-depleted carbonate, Unit II sediments (15–20 mbsf) with a low pyrite (15–43 μmol/g) and a high content of iron oxide mineral and Unit III sediments (<10 mbsf) by a present-day sulfate–methane interface (SMI) at 5 m with a high amount of pyrite (84–221 μmol/g) and a high concentration of dissolved sulfide.The oscillation records of pyrite concentrations are controlled by temporal variations of methane flux. With an abundant supply of methane to Unit I and III, anaerobic methane oxidation and associated sulfate reduction favor diagenetic conditions conducive for significant pyrite formation. No AOM signal was found in Unit II, characterized by typical organically-limited normal marine sediments with little pyrite formation. The AOM induced pyrite formation near the SMI generates a marked pyrite signature, rendering such formation of pyrite as a useful proxy in identifying methane flux oscillation in a methane flux fluctuate environment.  相似文献

对珠江口淇澳岛海岸带3个站位(QA-11,QA-9和QA-14)的沉积物中不同形态的还原硫(酸可挥发性硫,黄铁矿和有机硫)、总有机碳(TOC)和孔隙水中SO42-,甲烷浓度进行了测定,并且利用稳态扩散模型计算其中2个站位(QA-9和QA-14)硫酸盐还原通量[1.74和1.14 mmol/(m2.d)]和甲烷厌氧氧化通量[0.34和0.29 mmol/(m2.d)]。研究结果表明由于潮间带沉积物受到SO42-供给的限制,因此位于潮间带的QA-11站位硫酸盐还原带较浅(约16 cm);在潮下带的QA-9和QA-14站位,随离海岸距离和水深的增加,硫酸盐还原通量呈现减小的趋势,并且硫酸还原逐渐受到可利用活性有机质的限制;甲烷厌氧氧化对硫酸盐还原的贡献表现出增加的趋势,由19.2%增加至25.5%。三个站位沉积物中按不同形态还原硫含量由大到小列出,它们是有机硫(OS)、黄铁矿(DS)、酸可挥发性硫(AVS)。沉积物中AVS的空间分布与硫酸盐还原通量有正相关性。QA-11和QA-14站位的黄铁矿与AVS硫的含量比值大于3,分别为7.9和3.6,表明两个站位的黄铁矿形成可能受硫酸盐还原作用的控制;QA-9站位黄铁矿与AVS硫的含量比值为2.2,暗示AVS向黄铁矿转化受到可利用活性铁的限制。  相似文献

对南海北部陆坡柱状沉积物样品总有机碳、总硫含量,以及其中的自生黄铁矿形貌、含量进行分析．结果显示,沉积物中黄铁矿（FeS2）、总有机碳（TOC）、总硫（TS）的质量分数分别为0～0,71％、0．37％～1．18％、0．04％～0．81％;黄铁矿和总有机碳、总硫的含量随深度加深逐渐增大,达到峰值后不断减少,三者的分布趋势基本一致;扫描电镜下观察到黄铁矿主要以莓球状集合体和八面体微晶形貌产出,局部层位亦发现管状、生物内膜状和立方体状黄铁矿晶体．表明该区浅表层环境为缺氧环境,硫化物主要以黄铁矿形式产出,其成因与有机质的厌氧氧化作用有关,而甲烷的厌氧氧化作用也可能促使自生黄铁矿的加速形成．莓球状黄铁矿占主导亦指示一种强还原性的缺氧微环境．黄铁矿富集的缺氧环境与下伏地层中天然气水合物分解释放的甲烷有关,为天然气水合物在该区的勘探提供一定的科荤依据．  相似文献

Downhole wireline log (DWL) data was acquired from eight drill sites during China's first gas hydrate drilling expedition (GMGS-1) in 2007. Initial analyses of the acquired well log data suggested that there were no significant gas hydrate occurrences at Site SH4. However, the re-examination of the DWL data from Site SH4 indicated that there are two intervals of high resistivity, which could be indicative of gas hydrate. One interval of high resistivity at depth of 171–175 m below seafloor (mbsf) is associated with a high compressional- wave (P-wave) velocities and low gamma ray log values, which suggests the presence of gas hydrate in a potentially sand-rich (low clay content) sedimentary section. The second high resistivity interval at depth of 175–180 mbsf is associated with low P-wave velocities and low gamma values, which suggests the presence of free gas in a potentially sand-rich (low clay content) sedimentary section. Because the occurrence of free gas is much shallower than the expected from the regional depth of the bottom simulating reflector (BSR), the free gas could be from the dissociation of gas hydrate during drilling or there may be a local anomaly in the depth to the base of the gas hydrate stability zone. In order to determine whether the low P-wave velocity with high resistivity is caused by in-situ free gas or dissociated free gas from the gas hydrate, the surface seismic data were also used in this analysis. The log analysis incorporating the surface seismic data through the construction of synthetic seismograms using various models indicated the presence of free gas directly in contact with an overlying gas hydrate-bearing section. The occurrence of the anomalous base of gas hydrate stability at Site SH4 could be caused by a local heat flow conditions. This paper documents the first observation of gas hydrate in what is believed to be a sand-rich sediment in Shenhu area of the South China Sea.  相似文献

The geochemical cycling of barium was investigated in sediments of pockmarks of the northern Congo Fan, characterized by surface and subsurface gas hydrates, chemosynthetic fauna, and authigenic carbonates. Two gravity cores retrieved from the so-called Hydrate Hole and Worm Hole pockmarks were examined using high-resolution pore-water and solid-phase analyses. The results indicate that, although gas hydrates in the study area are stable with respect to pressure and temperature, they are and have been subject to dissolution due to methane-undersaturated pore waters. The process significantly driving dissolution is the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) above the shallowest hydrate-bearing sediment layer. It is suggested that episodic seep events temporarily increase the upward flux of methane, and induce hydrate formation close to the sediment surface. AOM establishes at a sediment depth where the upward flux of methane from the uppermost hydrate layer counterbalances the downward flux of seawater sulfate. After seepage ceases, AOM continues to consume methane at the sulfate/methane transition (SMT) above the hydrates, thereby driving the progressive dissolution of the hydrates “from above”. As a result the SMT migrates downward, leaving behind enrichments of authigenic barite and carbonates that typically precipitate at this biogeochemical reaction front. Calculation of the time needed to produce the observed solid-phase barium enrichments above the present-day depths of the SMT served to track the net downward migration of the SMT and to estimate the total time of hydrate dissolution in the recovered sediments. Methane fluxes were higher, and the SMT was located closer to the sediment surface in the past at both sites. Active seepage and hydrate formation are inferred to have occurred only a few thousands of years ago at the Hydrate Hole site. By contrast, AOM-driven hydrate dissolution as a consequence of an overall net decrease in upward methane flux seems to have persisted for a considerably longer time at the Worm Hole site, amounting to a few tens of thousands of years.  相似文献

X-射线衍射和扫描电镜观察表明,采自南海北部琼东南盆地的沉积物样品中有天然气水合物和甲烷渗漏指示意义的自生碳酸盐、硫酸盐和草莓状framboids黄铁矿,自生矿物组合和显微结构特征与冷泉沉积物类似,属微生物成因。沉积物孔隙水化学组分分析结果显示,随着埋藏深度加深,SO42-,Ca2+,Mg2+和Sr2+浓度明显降低,Mg2+浓度与Ca2+浓度和Sr2+浓度与Ca2+浓度的比值急剧增加,这些地球化学特征与世界上天然气水合物产区的浅表层沉积物孔隙水中离子浓度异常吻合较好,暗示采样站位深部可能有油气或天然气水合物藏。  相似文献

Sediments recovered from 0 to 27 + meters below the seafloor (mbsf) of a gas-hydrate and gas-venting active area in the Gulf of Mexico were added to a hydrate growth test cell to determine the influence of the organic and inorganic sedimentary components on hydrate induction times and formation rates. Induction times were sixteen times shorter in the presence of sediment from approximately 18 mbsf (relative to sediment from 1 mbsf), and remained stable in the presence of sediment from 18 to 27 mbsf. Formation rates increased by a factor of 2.5 in the presence of sediments from approximately 18 mbsf and decreased somewhat in the presence of sediment from 18 to 27 mbsf. Selected samples (surface, 18 and 27 mbsf) were density fractionated and subjected to bulk elemental and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. XPS revealed the presence of iron in various chemical environments at depths of 18 and 27 mbsf. High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-MAS NMR) was used to characterize the organic component of sediments from selected depths. The discovery of intact proteinaceous material in the surface sediment was surprising due to the labile nature of these biopolymers, and potentially reflects microbial activity in these surface layers. This material was less abundant in sediment from increasing depths, where more lipid-like compounds were prominent. The results suggest that hydrate growth is inhibited by the presence of proteinaceous material but enhanced by lipid-like compounds associated with iron-bearing mineral surfaces.  相似文献
