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,而其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,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

对采自南海北部陆坡东沙海域水合物区HD319、HD196A和GC10站位的浅表层沉积物进行了地球化学特征研究。X射线衍射分析和扫描电镜观察表明,沉积物中存在具有天然气水合物和甲烷渗漏指示意义的自生碳酸盐、硫酸盐和黄铁矿。沉积物孔隙水化学组分分析显示,随着埋藏深度加深,SO42-、Ca2+、Mg2+和Sr2+浓度明显降低,CH4、H2S浓度的增加,以及Mg2+/Ca2+和Sr2+/Ca2+比值急剧增加,与世界上水合物区浅表层沉积物孔隙水中离子浓度异常特征吻合。沉积物顶空气游离烃分析结果和孔隙水化学组分变化,特别是SO42-、H2S和甲烷含量的急剧变化,说明研究区有丰富的气源,赋存水合物的可能性非常大,同时指示了研究区硫酸盐-甲烷界面(SMI)较浅,位于海底之下8m左右。  相似文献

南海东北部沉积物顶空气甲烷含量较高,海底存在明显的甲烷渗溢现象。该海域6个沉积物岩心的孔隙水硫酸盐浓度和顶空气甲烷含量随深度变化而变化,出现明显的硫酸盐-甲烷互相消耗区域,硫酸盐和甲烷浓度均急剧下降。HD109、HD170、HD196A、HD200、HD319和GC10等6个岩心的硫酸盐还原-甲烷厌氧氧化界面(SMI)分别位于704、911、728、636、888、792cm处,完全落入全球水合物区富甲烷环境的SMI深度范围之内。强烈的甲烷渗溢过程使得硫酸盐-甲烷互相消耗作用加剧,并形成浅的SMI。浅的SMI显示了东北部存在强烈的甲烷渗溢活动以及强烈的甲烷厌氧氧化作用,具有天然气水合物成藏的典型特征。  相似文献

深海,特别是天然气水合物区的沉积物-孔隙水体系中,Ba循环受到孔隙水中的硫酸盐(SO24-)和甲烷(CH4)之间的氧化还原反应的强烈制约。沉积物中"Ba峰"的存在体现了SO2-4亏损的长时间累积效应,并与海平面变化制约下的天然气水合物分解有关。南海北部陆坡ODP1146站钻孔上部深度185m沉积物中发育了4个"Ba峰",其中发育于深度约58m的"Ba峰"(F3)与当前SO2-4-CH4反应界面(SMI)深度一致,推断其他3个"Ba峰"(F1、F2和F4)对应的SMI深度分别约为24m、46m和84m。"Ba峰"最大峰值与沉积物Cl通量减小和冰期-间冰期转换带的对应性表明:在冰期,海平面大幅度降低诱发的浅水区(如东沙群岛附近)天然气水合物的分解持续释放了低盐度、高浓度CH4流体,其中部分流体迁移至ODP1146站所在的陆坡区沉积物中,导致了间隙水中SO2-4的持续亏损和自生Ba的长时间累积,结果在冰期-间冰期转换阶段形成显著的"Ba峰";同时,部分逸散于大气中的CH4加快了冰期的结束。在距今约50万年的冰期-间冰期旋回制约下的海平面周期性变化过程中,南海北部浅水区天然气水合物分解释放的低盐度和高浓度CH4流体也间歇地迁移至深水陆坡沉积区,导致了多个"Ba峰"的形成和沉积埋藏。"Ba峰"可以用于评价历史时期南海北部陆坡天然气水合物分解释放甲烷通量的变化。  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

对日本海西部大陆坡沉积物柱状样中的自生碳酸盐样品进行了X射线衍射、扫描电镜、地球化学和碳氧同位素组成的系统研究。X射线衍射和扫描电镜分析结果表明,碳酸盐主要组成矿物为颗粒状自生高镁方解石微晶,放射状自生文石微晶仅在一个层位出现。结合碳酸盐的地球化学组成,认为研究区碳酸盐来自于富Ca2+、Mg2+和HCO3-流体的沉淀。中度亏损的13C(-33.85‰~-39.53‰)表明碳来自于甲烷的厌氧氧化,同时,这也是研究区海底存在甲烷冷泉的重要证据。重氧同位素比值(5.28‰~5.31‰)则指示着富18O流体来源,而该流体应源于天然气水合物的分解。综上可知,研究区碳酸盐来自于研究区甲烷冷泉上升流的沉淀,指示着海底更深处天然气水合物的存在与分解。  相似文献

取自南海北部的3块自生碳酸盐岩主要为圆环状、结核状和结壳状。X射线衍射分析显示,这3件碳酸盐岩主要由黏土矿物、陆源碎屑(石英、长石)和碳酸盐矿物(高镁方解石和铁白云石)组成;碳氧同位素分析表明,结核状和结壳状碳酸盐岩具有极负的δ13C(分别为-32.83‰和-38.01‰PDB)和正的δ18O(分别为+2.19‰和+2.96‰PDB),不同于正常沉积的海相碳酸盐岩,甲烷厌氧氧化过程控制了这些碳酸盐岩的形成。碳酸盐岩为甲烷成因,记录了南海东北部海底富含甲烷的冷泉活动历史。  相似文献

南海北部陆坡九龙甲烷礁冷泉碳酸盐岩沉积岩石学特征   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
本文对南海北部陆坡九龙甲烷礁采集的两个冷泉碳酸盐岩样品TVG-1和TVG-11进行了矿物学、岩石学和碳氧同位素分析研究。X射线衍射分析(XRD)结果表明,自生矿物主要为文石、白云石和高镁方解石等,碎屑矿物含量较少。TVG-11中存在大量的文石,而TVG-1只保留了已转化为方解石的文石假象,据此可以推断TVG-1的形成要早于TVG-11。扫描电镜(SEM)显微结构特征显示,自生矿物主要是通过细菌的厌氧氧化作用,直接从冷泉中沉淀出来的。碳、氧同位素测试结果显示,碳酸盐岩具有强δ^13C亏损和一定程度的δ^18O富集的特征,TVG-1和TVG-11的δ^13C值分别为-46.22%。和-52.88%,均低于-40%,表明碳源于微生物作用的甲烷厌氧氧化,是指示该海域存在冷泉的重要证据;TVG-1和TVG-11的δ^18O值分别为3.19‰和4.07‰,存在一定程度的δ^18O富集。碳氧同位素和矿物的显微结构特征都说明九龙甲烷礁碳酸盐岩是烃类渗漏微生物作用而形成的自生碳酸盐岩,可能是天然气水合物分解引起的沉积,显示该区存在水合物的可能性很大。  相似文献

硫酸盐-甲烷转换带(SMTZ)是海洋富甲烷沉积环境中重要的生物地球化学分带,其内发生的甲烷厌氧氧化反应(AOM)通常能影响多种自生矿物(碳酸盐类、黄铁矿、重晶石和石膏等)的形成过程。本文选取南海东北部天然气水合物赋存区GMGS2-16站位的58个沉积物样品,对其中发育的自生矿物进行了类型、含量、分布、显微形貌和稳定同位素研究。GMGS2-16站位岩心沉积物中主要发育碳酸盐类、黄铁矿和石膏3类自生矿物,亦发现单质硫颗粒的存在。自生矿物含量分布变化较大,存在多个富集层位。自生碳酸盐类均为块状,具极负的δ~(13 )C值(-37.3‰~-51.7‰VPDB)和较重的δ~(18 )O值(3.13‰~4.95‰VPDB),指示其为甲烷碳源,即AOM成因。自生黄铁矿主要呈不规则块状、棒状-管状和生物充填状,δ~(34 )S值变化范围为-41.7‰~27.1‰VCDT,其中δ~(34)S值异常正偏很可能与大量甲烷流体上涌至SMTZ内加强AOM反应有关。多层AOM成因的自生碳酸盐类与δ~(34)S值异常的自生黄铁矿产出层位基本吻合,共同指示了研究站位曾发生过多期次甲烷渗漏事件,可能与研究站位天然气水合物藏失稳存在一定联系。自生石膏主要呈棱柱状和透镜状,偶见黄铁矿-石膏共生体,初步推测自生石膏可能与水合物形成过程中的排离子效应和(或)沉积环境氧化还原条件改变导致的黄铁矿氧化有关。因此,海洋沉积物中碳酸盐类-黄铁矿-石膏自生矿物组合对探讨古海洋甲烷渗漏事件和天然气水合物藏的演化具有重要指示意义。  相似文献

浅剖资料在南海北部东沙西南海域水合物调查中的应用   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
南海北部东沙海域陆坡已经被证实为天然气水合物前景分布区,浅地层剖面数据以其高效率采集过程和浅表层高分辨率的特点被国内外学者应用到天然气水合物调查中并取得了很多成果。以南海北部东沙西南海域的两条浅剖测线为例,分析了该区浅表层沉积物的声学特征,并在浅剖剖面上发现了浅层含气带以及气体泄露现象,初步推测为深部的天然气水合物分解后通过断层运移到浅层中形成了浅层含气带,部分浅层气体还通过泄露点喷射到海水中从而形成了剖面中的气体泄露现象。最后,进一步通过对研究区域的沉积及气源条件、温压条件、地质及生物证据的讨论,证实该区具有天然气水合物发育的基本条件,因此,可以证实上述浅剖资料解释中关于天然气水合物的推测。  相似文献

In order to investigate the response of authigenic minerals to gas hydrate geo-systems, the biogeochemical processes and its induced mineralization were predicted by employing the comprehensive reactive transport modeling approach. Based on the available data extracted from the northern continental slope area of the South China Sea, a 1-D vertical column model was developed. Three cases with different upward methane flux rates and three cases with different mineral compositions, i.e., a total of six cases were designed to investigate the effects of variations in the depth of sulfate methane transition zone (SMTZ) and in the mineral composition on the formation of authigenic minerals. The simulation results indicate that the SMTZ depth influenced by both the upward methane flux rate and the initial composition played an important role in the formation of authigenic minerals. The AOM reaction is intensive at the interface, and the precipitation amount of calcite is large, which is mainly controlled by AOM. When the methane leakage rate is 20 times higher than the base case, aragonite starts to precipitate. During the simulation, oligoclase, k-feldspar, smectite-Na, smectite-Ca, chlorite dissolved. Our study specific to this area as a starting point may provide a quantitative approach for investigating carbonate and pyrite formation in hydrate-bearing sediments accounting for methane oxidation and sulfate reduction. The method presented here and the model built in this study can be used for other sites with similar conditions. In addition, this study may serve as an indication for the potential natural gas hydrate reservoir in depth, and is also significant for marine carbon and sulfur cycle.  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

Cold seeps are pervasive along the continental margin worldwide,and are recognized as hotspots for elemental cycling pathway on Earth.In this study,analyses of pore water geochemical compositions of one-400 cm piston core(S3) and the application of a mass balance model are conducted to assess methane-associated biogeochemical reactions and uncover the relationship of methane in shallow sediment with gas hydrate reservoir at the Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan.The results revealed that approximately 77% of sulfate is consumed by the predominant biogeochemical process of anaerobic oxidation of methane.However,the estimated sulfate-methane interface depth is-400 cm below sea floor with the methane diffusive flux of 0.039 mol/(m~2·a),suggesting the activity of methane seepage.Based on the δ~(13)C_(DIC) mass balance model combined with the contribution proportion of different dissolved inorganic carbon sources,this study calculated the δ~(13)C of the exogenous methane to be-57.9‰,indicating that the exogenous methane may be a mixture source,including thermogenic and biogenic methane.The study of pore water geochemistry at Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan may have considerable implications for understanding the specific details on the dynamics of methane in cold seeps and provide important evidence for the potential occurrence of subsurface gas hydrate in this area.  相似文献

Using the collected 433 heat flow values, we estimated the bases of methane hydrate stability zone (BHSZ), in northern South China Sea (NSCS). Through comparing BHSZs with the depths of bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs), in Shenhu Area (SA), we found that there are big differences between them. In the north of SA, where the water depth is shallow, many slumps developed and the sedimentation rate is high, it appears great negative difference (as large as -192%). However, to the southeast of SA, where the water depth is deeper, sedimentation rate is relatively low and uplift basement topography exists, it changes to positive difference (as large as +45%). The differences change so great, which haven’t been observed in other places of the world. After considering the errors from the process of heat flow measurement, the BSR depth, the relationship of thermal conductivity with the sediments depth, and the fluid flow activities, we conclude that the difference should be not caused by these errors. Such big disagreement may be due to the misunderstanding of BSR. The deviant “BSRs” could represent the paleo-BSRs or just gas-bearing sediment layers, such as unconformities or the specific strata where have different permeability, which are not hydraterelated BSRs.  相似文献
