The Thermal Effect of Submarine Mud Volcano Fluid and Its Influence on the Occurrence of Gas Hydrates
Mud volcanoes and other fluid seepage pathways usually transport sufficient gas for the formation of gas reservoirs and are beneficial to the accumulation of gas hydrate. On the other hand, the fluid thermal effects of mud volcanoes can constrain the occurrence of gas hydrates. Current field measure...

description |
Mud volcanoes and other fluid seepage pathways usually transport sufficient gas for the formation of gas reservoirs and are beneficial to the accumulation of gas hydrate. On the other hand, the fluid thermal effects of mud volcanoes can constrain the occurrence of gas hydrates. Current field measurements indicate that fluid thermal anomalies impact the distribution of gas hydrates associated with mud volcanoes. However, due to the lack of quantitative analysis of the mud volcano fluid flow and thermal evolution, it is difficult to effectively reveal the occurrence of gas hydrates in mud volcano development areas and estimate their resource potential. This study took the Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano (HMMV) in the southwestern Barents Sea as the research object and comprehensively used seismic, well logging, drilling and heat flow survey data, combining the principles and methods of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to study the fluid flow and heat transfer of a mud volcanic pathway. The space framework of the mud volcanic fluid temperature field thermal structure was established, the influence of the HMMV fluid thermal effect on gas hydrate occurrence was analyzed and the distribution and resource potential of gas hydrates in mud volcano development areas were revealed from the perspective of thermodynamics. This study provides a thermodynamic theoretical basis for gas hydrate accumulation research, exploration and exploitation under a fluid seepage tectonic environment. |
