Abstract:

Through processing 3D seismic data acquired in Sanlutian mining field in Muli permafrost area, Qinghai, based on the petrophysical analysis and the seismic responsefeature analysis, the deep structure and special seismic processing results such as AVO characteristics of the study area were obtained. The results reveal that there exists extremely close relationship between the distribution of gas hydrates and the structure; the distribution of gas hydrates is mainly controlled by the structure. In the area where faults and fractures are developed, the distribution feature of gas hydrates are obvious; it is coincident with the drilling result.

Key words: Muli area, permafrost area, gas hydrate, deep structure, 3D seismic profile
