摘要

Remote determination of the hydrate content of marine sediments remains a challenging problem.udIn the absence of boreholes, the most commonly used approach involves the measurement of Pwaveudvelocities from seismic experiments. A range of seismic effective medium methods hasudbeen developed to interpret these velocities in terms of hydrate content, but uncertainties aboutudthe pore-scale distribution of hydrate can lead to large uncertainties in this interpretation. Whereudborehole geophysical measurements are available, electrical resistivity is widely used as a proxyudfor hydrate content, and the measurement of resistivity using controlled source electromagneticudmethods shows considerable promise. However, resistivity is commonly related to hydrateudcontent using Archie’s law, an empirical relationship with no physical basis that has been shownudto fail for hydrate-bearing sediments. We have developed an electrical effective medium methodudappropriate to hydrate-bearing sediments based on the application of a geometric correction to theudHashin-Shrikman conductive bound, and tested this method by making resistivity measurementsudon artificial sediments of known porosity. We have adapted our method to deal with anisotropicudgrains such as clay particles, and combined it with a well-established seismic effective mediumudmethod to develop a strategy for estimating the hydrate content of marine sediments based on audcombination of seismic and electrical methods. We have applied our approach to boreholeudgeophysical data from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 311 on the VancouverudIsland margin. Hydrate saturations were determined from resistivity logs by adjusting theudgeometric factor in areas of the log where hydrate was not present. This value was then used overudthe entire resistivity log. Hydrate saturations determined using this method match well thoseuddetermined from direct measurements of the methane content of pressurized cores.
