Elastic full-waveform inversion (EFWI) can provide high-resolution subsurface structures and physical properties by iteratively matching observed and synthetic data. However, the success of EFWI relies on the availability of a good initial model and high signal-to-noise ratio observed data with sufficient low-frequency information, both of which are often challenging to obtain in practical applications. In addition, the coupling of different parameters degrades the inversion result. Recently, inversion methods based on physics-informed deep neural networks (DNN) have proven effective in mitigating the issue of multiple local minima caused by inaccurate initial models, missing low-frequency information, and noisy seismic data. However, existing DNN-based approaches commonly rely on fixed activation functions (e.g., rectified linear unit). In addition, their capacity to represent high-frequency components – namely, fine-scale structural details – is inherently limited due to spectral bias. These limitations may, in turn, impede their broader applicability. To mitigate this issue, we propose a model reparameterized EFWI method based on a dual-channel convolutional neural network (CNN) and Kolmogorov–Arnold networks (KAN) to enhance the reconstruction of fine-scale structural details. Specifically, our network incorporates KAN into the U-Net architecture, where CNN and KAN operate in dual channels to efficiently capture nonlinear relationships in the data. The hybrid network maps an initial model to the subsurface parameter model, with the output of the network serving as input for partial differential equations (PDEs) to generate synthetic data. Various numerical examples are conducted to investigate the performance of the inversion method, including its ability to mitigate the parameter crosstalk issue, the effect of noise and missing low-frequency information, and the influence of different initial models and network inputs. The numerical results demonstrate that, by combining CNN’s fixed activation functions with KAN’s inherently learnable activations, our method – despite a modest increase in computational cost – outperforms both EFWI and CNN-based reparameterized EFWI in reconstruction accuracy and convergence efficiency.
弹性全波形反演(EFWI)可以通过迭代匹配观测数据和合成数据来提供高分辨率的地下结构和物理性质。然而,EFWI的成功依赖于良好的初始模型和具有足够低频信息的高信噪比观测数据的可用性,这两者在实际应用中往往难以获得。此外,不同参数的耦合会降低反演结果。最近,基于物理信息的深度神经网络(DNN)的反演方法被证明可以有效地缓解由初始模型不准确、低频信息缺失和地震数据噪声引起的多个局部最小值问题。然而,现有的基于dnn的方法通常依赖于固定的激活函数(例如,整流线性单元)。此外,由于频谱偏倚,它们表示高频成分(即精细尺度结构细节)的能力本身就受到限制。这些限制可能反过来阻碍其更广泛的适用性。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一种基于双通道卷积神经网络(CNN)和Kolmogorov-Arnold网络(KAN)的模型重参数化EFWI方法,以增强精细尺度结构细节的重建。具体来说,我们的网络将KAN整合到U-Net架构中,其中CNN和KAN在双通道中运行,以有效捕获数据中的非线性关系。混合网络将初始模型映射到地下参数模型,网络的输出作为偏微分方程(pde)的输入,以生成合成数据。通过各种数值算例研究了该反演方法的性能,包括其缓解参数串扰问题的能力,噪声和低频信息缺失的影响,以及不同初始模型和网络输入的影响。数值结果表明,通过将CNN的固定激活函数与KAN的固有可学习激活相结合,我们的方法在重建精度和收敛效率方面优于EFWI和基于CNN的重参数化EFWI,尽管计算成本有所增加。

Accurate detection of hidden coal fire areas is crucial for early warning and disaster mitigation, yet single-physics methods often have limitations in scope and applicability. This study proposes a multi-physics cooperative detection approach based on temperature variations, integrating magnetic, dielectric, and resistivity measurements, and verifies it on a large-scale physical simulation platform. The results show that as the fire temperature increases (500–700 °C), the magnetic susceptibility of coal and rocks significantly enhances, raising the magnetic anomaly intensity from 1100nT to 1600nT, effectively delineating fire boundaries. Variable-temperature dielectric measurements reveal a three-stage evolution pattern, with burned-out zones exhibiting reduced permittivity, causing polarity inversion of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) reflections, which can be effectively identified in the 20–24 ns time window. High-density resistivity surveys indicate a distinct transition from high-resistivity anomalies (∼10^5Ω·m) at ambient conditions to low-resistivity anomalies (50 - 200 Ω·m) at elevated temperatures, with inversion results consistent with forward modeling. The integration of magnetic, dielectric, and resistivity methods demonstrates strong complementarity in boundary delineation, void detection, and spatial inversion, ultimately achieving precise localization of fire centers. This study establishes a cooperative multi-physics detection framework for hidden coal fires, providing a new technical approach for integrated detection, disaster early warning, and fire control design, with potential applicability in geothermal monitoring and hydrocarbon leakage detection.
准确探测煤火隐伏区对早期预警和减灾至关重要,但单一物理方法在范围和适用性方面往往存在局限性。本研究提出了一种基于温度变化的多物理场协同探测方法,将磁、介电和电阻率测量相结合,并在大型物理模拟平台上进行了验证。结果表明:随着火区温度的升高(500 ~ 700℃),煤岩磁化率显著增强,磁异常强度由1100nT提高到1600nT,有效圈定了火区边界;变温介质测量揭示了一个三阶段的演化模式,烧毁区呈现出降低的介电常数,导致探地雷达(GPR)反射的极性反转,这可以在20-24 ns时间窗内有效识别。高密度电阻率测量表明,从环境条件下的高电阻率异常(~ 10^5Ω·m)到高温下的低电阻率异常(50 - 200 Ω·m)有明显的转变,反演结果与正演模拟一致。磁法、介电法和电阻法相结合,在边界圈定、空洞探测和空间反演等方面具有很强的互补性,最终实现了火点的精确定位。本研究建立了煤隐火多物理场协同探测框架,为综合探测、灾害预警和消防设计提供了新的技术途径,在地热监测和油气泄漏探测中具有潜在的适用性。

Adaptive focused beam migration represents an advanced imaging technique for seismic wave fields. This method enhances beam energy focus by dynamically adjusting beam width based on velocity information, offering superior imaging capabilities for complex geological structures. Based on previous research on isotropic adaptive focused beam pre-stack depth migration (FB-PSDM), this study introduces anisotropic ray tracing equations to improve seismic wave field imaging in anisotropic media. Furthermore, the proposed method integrates a pre-stack wave field separation technique for multi-component seismic data, resulting in the development of an anisotropic multi-component adaptive FB-PSDM approach. Comparative analysis of single-shot PP-wave and PS-wave migration results in horizontal transversely isotropic with a vertical symmetry axis (VTI) media models demonstrates that the proposed method yields more accurate imaging outcomes compared to conventional isotropic migration methods. Additional validation through PP-wave and PS-wave migration tests on complex-fault transversely isotorpic with a tilted symmetry axis (TTI) medium model and the Marmousi-2 TTI medium model further confirms the superior performance of the proposed method. These results consistently indicate that the anisotropic multi-component adaptive FB-PSDM method significantly outperforms isotropic migration methods in imaging quality for complex anisotropic geological structures.

Understanding how stress redistribution and structural reactivation evolve during deep coal mining is essential for assessing seismic hazards. In this study, we develop an automated microseismic classification workflow that integrates PhaseNet-based P-wave picking, residual-guided multi-window trimming, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) spectrogram generation and a dynamic-attention convolutional neural network to identify mining-induced and tectonic events in real time. The workflow is first trained and validated on labelled microseismic waveforms, achieving 93% overall accuracy on a five-class test set (blast, microseismic, earthquake, noise and others). We then deploy it on five high-SNR stations (WDZ4–WDZ8) at the 6306 working face of the Dongtan Coal Mine, where it captures the progressive transition from blast-dominated to tectonic-dominated microseismicity as mining advances into faulted zones. This trend, interpreted together with independent geological mapping and published focal-mechanism and stress-inversion results, indicates enhanced stress transfer and structural activation within the surrounding strata. Overall, the results demonstrate that intelligent seismic classification can quantitatively track the coupling between mining activities and geological structures, providing a practical tool for stress monitoring and early warning in deep coal seams.
了解深部煤矿开采过程中应力重分布和构造活化的演化过程是评估地震危险性的关键。在这项研究中,我们开发了一种自动化微地震分类工作流程,该工作流程集成了基于phasenet的p波拾取、残差引导的多窗口修剪、短时傅立叶变换(STFT)频谱图生成和动态注意力卷积神经网络,以实时识别采矿和构造事件。该工作流程首先在标记的微地震波形上进行训练和验证,在五类测试集(爆炸、微地震、地震、噪声和其他)上达到93%的总体准确率。然后,我们将它部署在东滩煤矿6306工作面的五个高信噪比站(WDZ4-WDZ8)上,在那里它捕捉到了随着采矿进入断裂带,从爆破为主到构造为主的微震活动的渐进转变。结合独立的地质填图和已发表的震源机制和应力反演结果,这一趋势表明,围岩内应力传递和构造活化增强。结果表明,智能地震分类可以定量跟踪采矿活动与地质构造之间的耦合关系,为深部煤层应力监测和预警提供实用工具。

IF 2.1 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-01-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.jappgeo.2025.106085

To reveal the propagation characteristics of acoustic emission (AE) signals in layered rock and their implications for monitoring and interpretation, AE propagation tests were conducted in two directions: in-layer (parallel-to-bedding) and cross-layer (perpendicular-to-bedding). The effects of bedding on AE wave velocity, waveform, spectrum, and time–frequency characteristics were systematically analysed. Results revealed significant anisotropy: the cross-layer wave velocity was approximately 10.61% lower than the in-layer velocity. Propagation through bedding caused pronounced attenuation in amplitude, energy, and ringing count, accompanied by a significant increase in rise time, indicating waveform distortion and dispersion. The dominant frequency decreased from about 120 kHz to 50 kHz, showing strong high-frequency attenuation and energy transfer toward lower frequencies. Frequency-dependent attenuation was most pronounced in the 250–500 kHz range, moderate in 125–250 kHz, and weak below 125 kHz. The attenuation bandwidth for cross-layer propagation (62.5–500 kHz) was broader than that for in-layer propagation (125–500 kHz). These findings demonstrate that bedding interfaces play a critical role in controlling AE signal behaviour, providing a theoretical and experimental basis for improving AE source interpretation and dynamic hazard monitoring in layered rock masses.
为了揭示声发射信号在层状岩石中的传播特征及其对监测和解释的意义,在层内(与层理平行)和层间(与层理垂直)两个方向上进行了声发射传播试验。系统分析了层理对声发射波速、波形、波谱和时频特性的影响。结果表明:层间波速比层内波速低约10.61%;通过层理传播会导致振幅、能量和振铃数的明显衰减,并伴随着上升时间的显著增加,表明波形失真和色散。主导频率从120 kHz左右下降到50 kHz,表现出较强的高频衰减和向低频的能量转移。频率相关衰减在250-500 kHz范围内最明显,在125 - 250 kHz范围内中等,在125 kHz以下较弱。层间传播(62.5 ~ 500 kHz)的衰减带宽比层内传播(125 ~ 500 kHz)的衰减带宽宽。研究结果表明,层理界面在控制声发射信号行为中起着至关重要的作用,为提高层状岩体声发射震源解释和动态灾害监测水平提供了理论和实验依据。

Analysis of deep structures and key factors for oil and gas accumulation in the Erjiacun Depression of South Poyang Basin based on magnetotelluric sounding imaging 基于大地电磁测深成像的南阳盆地二家村凹陷深部构造及油气成藏关键因素分析
IF 2.1 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-01-02 DOI: 10.1016/j.jappgeo.2025.106088

South Poyang Basin is an important hydrocarbon exploration block in the Lower Yangtze region. The Upper Paleozoic strata are widely distributed with active hydrocarbon anomalies. However, industrial hydrocarbon flow has yet to be achieved. The damage caused by shallow structural adjustments and the lack of clarity in deep geological structures are considered significant factors constraining breakthroughs in oil and gas exploration. This study performed a 2D nonlinear conjugate gradient inversion on 30 magnetotelluric (MT) data points from the north-south opposing thrust area in the Erjia Depression of South Poyang Basin and successfully constructed a detailed resistivity model extending to a depth of 6 km. Then the hydrocarbon accumulation patterns and favorable exploration directions were analyzed by combining imaging results with 2D seismic profiles and previous borehole logs. ‌The results reveal that the Erjia Depression has undergone multiple tectonic events, forming a typical imbricate thrust system. Within this system, the F2 structure is characterized by low-angle thrusting from NW to SE, extending approximately 12.5 km along the NE direction, with its formation period preliminarily constrained to the Indosinian. A stable median apparent resistivity anomaly beneath the thrust nappe suggests the footwall of the nappe is less influenced by structural disruption and the potential presence of an in-situ stratum dating from the Late Permian to Middle Carboniferous (P3-C2). Within this sequence, the Middle Permian carbonate rocks possess key elements for hydrocarbon accumulation: high-quality source rocks, favorable reservoir properties, and ideal burial conditions.The results can provide crucial constraints on the electrical structure and introduce a new technical approach for the deep hydrocarbon exploration in Southern Poyang Basin.
南阳盆地是下扬子地区重要的油气勘探区块。上古生界地层分布广泛,油气异常活跃。然而,工业烃类流动尚未实现。浅层构造调整造成的破坏和深部地质构造不清晰被认为是制约油气勘探取得突破的重要因素。对南阳盆地二家坳陷南北逆冲区30个大地电磁资料进行二维非线性共轭梯度反演,成功建立了延伸至6 km深度的详细电阻率模型。结合成像结果、二维地震剖面和以往测井资料,分析了油气成藏模式和有利勘探方向。研究结果表明,二家坳陷经历了多次构造事件,形成了典型的叠瓦状逆冲构造体系。在该体系内,F2构造以NW - SE低角度逆冲为特征,沿NE方向延伸约12.5 km,其形成期初步限定在印支期。逆冲推覆体下方稳定的中位视电阻率异常表明推覆体下盘受构造断裂的影响较小,可能存在晚二叠世至中石炭世(P3-C2)的原位地层。在该层序中,中二叠统碳酸盐岩具有高质量的烃源岩、有利的储层性质和理想的埋藏条件,是油气成藏的关键要素。研究结果可为鄱阳盆地南部深层油气勘探提供重要的电性构造约束,并为该区深部油气勘探提供新的技术途径。

This study performed a 2D nonlinear conjugate gradient inversion on 30 magnetotelluric (MT) data points from the north-south opposing thrust area in the Erjia Depression of South Poyang Basin and successfully constructed a detailed resistivity model extending to a depth of 6 km. Then the hydrocarbon accumulation patterns and favorable exploration directions were analyzed by combining imaging results with 2D seismic profiles and previous borehole logs. ‌The results reveal that the Erjia Depression has undergone multiple tectonic events, forming a typical imbricate thrust system. Within this system, the F<sub>2</sub> structure is characterized by low-angle thrusting from NW to SE, extending approximately 12.5 km along the NE direction, with its formation period preliminarily constrained to the Indosinian. A stable median apparent resistivity anomaly beneath the thrust nappe suggests the footwall of the nappe is less influenced by structural disruption and the potential presence of an in-situ stratum dating from the Late Permian to Middle Carboniferous (P<sub>3</sub>-C<sub>2</sub>). Within this sequence, the Middle Permian carbonate rocks possess key elements for hydrocarbon accumulation: high-quality source rocks, favorable reservoir properties, and ideal burial conditions.The results can provide crucial constraints on the electrical structure and introduce a new technical approach for the deep hydrocarbon exploration in Southern Poyang Basin.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54882,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Geophysics","volume":"246 ","pages":"Article 106088"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145903958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Helium, an important strategic rare gas resource, has a wide range of industrial applications and utilization value. Weihe Basin in central China exhibits considerable potential for the development of helium resource. The origin of helium is predominantly governed by helium source rocks. However, the distribution of helium source rocks in Weihe Basin remains unclear at least. The aeromagnetic survey is an essential method to find out the distribution characteristics of helium source rock. In 2018, Shaanxi Gas Group Co., Ltd. obtained the first helium exploration right of China in the Huazhou-Huayin area of Weihe Basin. Aeromagnetic surveys at a scale of 1:50,000 were conducted in the Huazhou-Huayin area, and yielding high-quality magnetic field data. Using the outcrop of granite pluton nearly study area as a reference, the residual magnetic anomalies potentially associated with helium source rocks were extracted from the magnetic anomalies reduced to the pole. Three-dimensional magnetic susceptibility inversion was performed to delineate the spatial distribution of these source rocks, and the results indicate that Huashan pluton is the primary helium source rock in the Huazhou-Huayin area. The Dafuyu granite body, locating in the west of Huashan pluton, extends approximately 5000 m northward beneath the thick sedimentary cover. The granites encountered in the boreholes may be sporadically distributed by analyzing the magnetic susceptibility and reflection features of two seismic profiles. From the perspective of the distribution feature for the helium source rocks, the future efforts should be focused on the central part of the study area, particularly in the regions where the Dafuyu granite body extends northward into Weihe Basin.
氦气是一种重要的战略性稀有气体资源,具有广泛的工业应用和利用价值。渭河盆地具有相当大的氦资源开发潜力。氦的成因主要受氦源岩的支配。然而,渭河盆地的氦源岩分布尚不清楚。航磁测量是了解氦源岩分布特征的重要手段。2018年,陕西燃气集团股份有限公司获得渭河盆地华州-华阴地区中国首个氦气勘探权。在华州-华阴地区开展了1:5万比例尺的航磁调查,获得了高质量的磁场数据。以近研究区花岗岩岩体露头为参照,从还原到极点的磁异常中提取可能与氦源岩相关的残余磁异常。通过三维磁化率反演,圈定了烃源岩的空间分布,结果表明华山岩体是华州-华阴地区的主力烃源岩。大富峪花岗岩体位于华山岩体西侧,在厚厚的沉积盖层下向北延伸约5000 m。通过对两条地震剖面的磁化率和反射特征分析,发现钻孔中花岗岩可能是零星分布的。从氦源岩的分布特征来看,今后的工作重点应放在研究区中部,特别是大富峪花岗岩体向北延伸至渭河盆地的区域。

Characterization and Applications of Favorable Coal–Rock Architectures Based on Seismic Facies Boundaries: The Ordos Basin 基于地震相边界的煤岩有利构型表征及应用:鄂尔多斯盆地
IF 2.1 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-01-02 DOI: 10.1016/j.jappgeo.2025.106092

The Ordos Basin is one of the most resource-rich and critical regions for deep coalbed methane gas within China, in which the efficient development of this methane gas is key to increasing reserves and boosting production. The gas-bearing content of coal–rock systems is largely controlled by their internal architectural configurations. Seismic detection plays a critical role in attempts to convert coalbed methane gas resources into recoverable reserves and increase production capacity. However, unconventional self-sourced and trapped coal–rock gas reservoirs exhibit distinct geological features. Coalbeds are generally characterized by limited thicknesses, complex capping lithologies, and laterally heterogeneous architectures. These complexities hinder a clear understanding of their architectural patterns and seismic response signatures, resulting in underdeveloped seismic detection methods. To address these challenges and achieve high-resolution characterizations of favorable coal–rock architectures, we here focus on a representative area in the Yulin region of the Ordos Basin. By integrating basic geological coal–rock types with gas-enriched architectural features, favorable coal–rock architectures in the study area were classified into three distinct types: dual-layer limestone–coal, integrated mudstone–coal, and integrated sandstone–coal. The geophysical response characteristics of these architectures were then identified using seismic forward modeling of favorable architectural models. After selecting sensitive seismic attributes, a neural network-based multi-attribute clustering method was applied to characterize the spatial distribution of favorable coal–rock facies architectures. In addition, image-processing edge detection techniques were used to delineate the lateral boundaries of each type of architecture. Herein, an innovative methodology is proposed for seismic- and well-data integration to achieve the fine-scale characterization of favorable coal–rock architectures under facies-type and architectural boundaries. Our findings provide both theoretical insights and technical guidance for the efficient exploration and development of coalbed methane gas in the Ordos Basin.
鄂尔多斯盆地是中国深层煤层气资源最丰富、最关键的地区之一,有效开发是增加储量和提高产量的关键。煤岩系统的含气性在很大程度上受其内部构造形态的控制。地震探测在煤层气资源转化为可采储量和提高产能方面起着至关重要的作用。然而,非常规自源圈闭煤岩气藏具有明显的地质特征。煤层一般具有厚度有限、盖层岩性复杂、横向构造不均匀等特点。这些复杂性阻碍了对其建筑模式和地震响应特征的清晰理解,导致地震探测方法的不发达。为了应对这些挑战并实现有利煤岩构型的高分辨率表征,我们在此以鄂尔多斯盆地榆林地区的一个代表性区域为研究对象。通过对煤岩基本地质类型与富气构造特征的综合分析,将研究区有利煤岩构造划分为双层灰岩-煤、泥岩-煤一体化和砂岩-煤一体化3种类型。然后利用有利建筑模型的地震正演模拟识别这些建筑的地球物理响应特征。在选取敏感地震属性后,采用基于神经网络的多属性聚类方法表征煤岩相有利构型的空间分布。此外,使用图像处理边缘检测技术来描绘每种建筑类型的横向边界。在此基础上,提出了一种创新的地震和井数据集成方法,以实现相型和建筑边界下有利煤岩构型的精细表征。研究结果为鄂尔多斯盆地煤层气高效勘探开发提供了理论依据和技术指导。

Interferometric synthetic aperture sonar for high-resolution seafloor mapping and imaging in contrasting geomorphological and benthic settings 干涉式合成孔径声纳在对比地貌和底栖环境中的高分辨率海底测绘和成像

Seafloor exploration for geological or biological studies ideally requires high resolution survey data over a large area. However, there is a trade-off between resolution and coverage using conventional acoustic imaging and mapping techniques. The recent development of interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (InSAS), which provides high resolution imagery and bathymetry (3 and 25 cm/pixel, respectively) over large areas of seafloor, and has primarily been used for military and commercial purposes, opens the door for new applications for geological mapping, and seafloor classification and monitoring. For these applications, the processing steps, survey parameters and requirements for InSAS surveying, compared to conventionally used techniques such as multibeam echosounders and side-scan sonars, are not well defined. In this study, we describe and discuss the results of InSAS surveys in two contrasting geological and benthic settings: a relatively flat continental shelf, and a topographically complex mid-ocean ridge. Features of sizes down to 6 cm were identified on the imagery, including lava flow crust lineations, bedrock sedimentary bedding, gravels, and discarded rope. We found that seafloor features <1 m high were better imaged than taller features, such as hydrothermal vents or faults. We test and quantify survey parameters necessary to optimize data quality for effective use for scientific applications. Our results indicate that seafloor bathymetry is the most important consideration to maximize likelihood of data generation success and data quality when planning InSAS surveys.
地质或生物研究的海底勘探理想地需要大面积的高分辨率调查数据。然而,在使用常规声学成像和制图技术的分辨率和覆盖范围之间存在权衡。干涉合成孔径声纳(InSAS)的最新发展,在海底大面积提供高分辨率图像和测深(分别为3和25厘米/像素),主要用于军事和商业目的,为地质测绘和海底分类和监测的新应用打开了大门。对于这些应用,与传统技术(如多波束回声测深仪和侧扫声纳)相比,InSAS测量的处理步骤、测量参数和要求并没有很好地定义。在本研究中,我们描述并讨论了InSAS在两种不同地质和底栖环境下的调查结果:相对平坦的大陆架和地形复杂的洋中脊。在图像上识别出小至6厘米的特征,包括熔岩流地壳线、基岩沉积层理、砾石和丢弃的绳索。我们发现,1米高的海底特征比更高的特征(如热液喷口或断层)成像更好。我们测试和量化必要的调查参数,以优化数据质量,有效地用于科学应用。我们的研究结果表明,在规划InSAS调查时,海底测深是最大限度地提高数据生成成功率和数据质量的最重要考虑因素。

Estimation of S-wave velocity of gas hydrate-bearing sediments using an improved Iso-frame model 基于改进等框架模型的含天然气水合物沉积物横波速度估算
IF 2.1 3区 地球科学 Q2 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-12-31 DOI: 10.1016/j.jappgeo.2025.106086

The micro-scale physical properties of gas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS) play a crucial role in elucidating their macro-scale elastic responses, thereby affecting the effectiveness of seismic exploration. Hydrate may have various morphologies in sediments, casting different influences on the elastic properties of GHBS. Various models have been proposed to simulate the hydrates with different morphologies. However, few of them have addressed the generation environment of the different morphologies. In this work, we characterized the elastic properties of GHBS based on the different generation mechanisms using an improved Iso-Frame (IF) model. Based on laboratory observations, we identified different IF values corresponding to P- and S-wave velocities, respectively, reflecting varying influences of hydrate on GHBS elastic properties. Afterwards, we derived the relation between IFP and IFS by studying laboratory and well log data statistically for excess-water and excess-gas scenarios, revealing the influences of generation mechanism on GHBS elastic properties. Then these relations were applied on the prediction of S-wave velocity, and the results were compared with the predictions of original IF model and commonly-used hydrate models, which demonstrated that the modified model has improved the Vs prediction. This work highlights the different bulk-shear moduli relations based on the hydrate generation mechanism and provides an alternative route of modeling GHBS, which can facilitate the characterization of GHBS elastic properties.
含天然气水合物沉积物的微尺度物性对阐明其宏观弹性响应起着至关重要的作用,从而影响地震勘探的有效性。水合物在沉积物中可能具有不同的形态,对GHBS的弹性性能产生不同的影响。人们提出了各种模型来模拟不同形态的水合物。然而,很少有人解决了不同形态的生成环境。在这项工作中,我们使用改进的等框架(IF)模型表征了基于不同生成机制的GHBS的弹性特性。基于实验室观测,我们分别确定了P波和s波速度对应的不同IF值,反映了水合物对GHBS弹性性能的不同影响。随后,通过对过量水和过量气情景下的实验室和测井数据进行统计分析,得出了IFP与IFS之间的关系,揭示了生成机制对GHBS弹性性质的影响。将这些关系应用于横波速度预测,并与原中频模型和常用水合物模型的预测结果进行了比较,结果表明,修正模型提高了横波速度预测的准确性。本研究突出了基于水合物生成机制的不同体积-剪切模量关系,为GHBS的建模提供了另一种途径,有助于表征GHBS的弹性特性。
