Interaction between seafloor cold seeps and adjacent hydrothermal activities in the Okinawa Trough

摘要: 热液和冷泉活动是现代深海环境中两个重要的极端系统,它们均是岩石圈与外部圈层之间进行物质、能量转移和交换的重要途径,它们之间既有显著差异,但也存在很多相似点。一系列调查研究表明,在某些特殊构造单元,热液和冷泉活动可能并不是彼此孤立的,而是在构造地质、生物生态和元素循环上存在某种相互作用或耦合关系。冲绳海槽作为西太平洋一个典型的弧后盆地,发育了繁盛的热液和冷泉活动,是研究这两个海底极端系统相互影响机制的天然实验室。在大量文献调研和野外精细探测结果的基础上,分析了冲绳海槽内相互毗邻的冷泉和热液之间的物质扩散过程及生物地球化学作用,初步建立了两个极端系统内两种不同流体相互作用的概念模型,认识到未来如对两个深海极端环境共生区构造发育特征、地层流体演化、生物群落以及矿物元素组成进行系统分析,将有助于建立更加完善的冷泉-热液两个系统在物质和能量上的耦合关系模型,同时也有助于揭示它们在生物生态之间的沟通融合规律,最终可建立盆地尺度上热液-冷泉区相互作用模式,从而加深对西太平洋甚至全球范围内冷泉-热液两个极端环境系统甚至“流体-固体”耦合的规律性认识。Abstract: As the seafloor extreme environmental systems, both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are the critical pathways between the lithosphere and exosphere (biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere) for transfer and exchange of materials and energies. There are significant differences, but also many similarities between the two systems. Recent investigations show that in some special tectonic units, hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are not isolated from each other, but instead there are some interactions or coupling relationships in terms of tectonic geology, biological ecology and element cyclicity. As a typical back-arc basin in the western Pacific Ocean, there are abundant hydrothermal vents and cold seeps developed in the Okinawa Trough (OT). Therefore, it has become an ideal natural laboratory for studying the two extreme environmental systems and their interactions. On the basis of literature researches and careful field case studies, we investigate the material diffusion process and biogeochemical process between cold seeps and hydrothermal vents adjacent to each other within the trough. A conceptual model is then established for the interactions between the fluids from the two extreme systems. Our results suggest that it would help to establish a more complete model of the coupling relationship between the two systems in the future, if the structural development characteristics, pore fluid evolution, biological communities, and mineral chemistry of the two deep-sea extreme environments are systematically analyzed. Moreover, it will help to reveal the interaction between them in biological ecology and finally establish a model of interaction between hydrothermal vents and cold seeps on the basin scale, so as to better understand the interaction process between cold seeps and hydrothermal systems and even the coupling of " flow-solid” in the Western Pacific Ocean or the whole Earth.

东海某凹陷低孔低渗储层油气资源丰富,但是主要油气层系存在砂泥岩层胶结疏松,砂泥岩层中夹煤层等现象,导致复杂的钻井情况,如何降低滤液对油气层的侵入影响,减少侵入深度,预防与控制水敏和液锁效应的发生是提高低孔低渗储层有效开发的重要手段[1-2],因此,优选了一套油包水钻井体系,井壁稳定性得到了改善,钻井周期明显缩短,储层保护取得显著成绩,但是更换泥浆体系对测井和录井也带来了新的问题,油基泥浆侵入对电阻率、中子、核磁仪器的响应与水基泥浆完全不同,此外气测录井和荧光录井资料受油基泥浆影响大[3-7]。本文通过对比水基泥浆和油基泥浆环境下测井和录井资料解释差异,探索东海地区在油基泥浆背景下的油气快速识别方法。
1. 水基泥浆与储层污染
水基泥浆的主要组成部分为水,除此之外还有少量添加剂(例如黏土剂、降滤失剂和防水锁剂等),水作为泥浆中分散相,主要以化学结构水、吸附水和自由水的形式存在,并且自由水的比重较大,一般占比70%~80%[1],因此,泥浆对地层的液相侵入严重,易造成储层污染。
东海某凹陷NBxx-5-1s井4 211~4 229 m岩心孔隙度分布范围为8%~10.7%,渗透率分布范围为0.18~5.4 mD,属于东海典型低孔低渗储层。储层的孔隙结构喉道细小,泥浆中固相颗粒侵入损害深度和程度有限,泥浆中自由水在正压差或者毛管力作用下侵入储层,驱替近井地带中天然气,侵入带水相饱和度增大,气相渗透率显著降低,水锁效应导致气井低产甚至无产[1-2]。
NBxx-5-1s井测井解释出两套气层,花港组的H6层和平湖组的P2层(图1),录井显示皆为细砂岩,H6和P2层自然伽马分布范围为40~70 API,平均为50 API,孔隙度分布范围为8%~11.2%,平均为9%,H6层电阻率分布范围为34~40 ohmm,P2层电阻率分布范围为40~61 ohmm;RCI测压显示H6层测压9个点,流度分布范围为2.3~3.3 mD/cp,平均为2.74 mD/cp,P2层测压8个点,流度分布范围为2.3~12.7 mD/cp,平均为8.89 mD/cp;经过对比,P2层的渗透性、电性特征,均优于H6层(表1),但是DST测试结果差异较大,P2层测试产气微量;H6层测试产气7.3万方/天。

对比H6与P2地层的DST测试工艺(表1),P2层为高温地层(地层温度157 ℃),射孔采用超高温弹,超高温弹径向穿深0.9 m;H6层为常温地层(地层温度148 ℃),射孔采用普通弹药,弹药径向穿深1.5 m。根据上述对比结果,P2层射孔弹穿深有限,并且诱喷压差较小,原状地层天然气无法突破侵入带,在水锁效应下无法形成有效渗流,导致两次测试产能差异明显。
2. 油基泥浆对测井、录井的影响
为了满足东海地区低孔低渗储层保护的需要,优选了一套油包水钻井液体系,该体系的实验室基础配方如下:3#白油+3%主乳化剂+1%辅乳化剂+1%润湿剂+4%有机土+3%降滤失剂+2%碱度调节剂+2%封堵剂+2%疏水胶体封堵剂+0.5%流型调节剂+1.2%高温流变稳定剂+重晶石(油水比为80∶20)。新钻井液体系性能良好,在清洁井眼、泥浆滤失、携岩性等方面效果好,能保证井筒环境的稳定,为录井作业和测井作业提供良好环境,但是,泥浆体系的变化为测井和录井带来新的挑战。
2.1 油基泥浆对测井的影响
油基泥浆对电法测井影响较大,对放射性、声法测井影响小。水基泥浆测井仪器在油基泥浆环境中无法正常使用,目前一批油基泥浆测井仪器投入使用并推广,其中电阻率仪器在油基泥浆环境下的响应特征与水基泥浆不同,当钻遇水层时,电阻率曲线呈现分异特征。
利用泥浆滤失原理和电阻率仪器延时测井方式,观察电阻率分异特征,快速判别油气层和水层。储层流体为油气时,流体成分与油基泥浆类似均为非导电流体,泥浆滤失前后冲洗带泥浆电阻率无差异;储层流体为水时,流体成分与油基泥浆截然不同,泥浆滤失后,地层水的混入导致泥浆的油包水体系被打破,形成导电回路,泥浆滤失后冲洗带电阻率高于滤失前泥浆电阻率[7-10]。
NBxx-5-2井在油基泥浆环境下钻遇气层和水层(图3),4 449~4 474 m井段随钻与复测电阻率P16H重叠,地层流体为气,4 474~4 538 m井段随钻与复测电阻率P16H分异,且复测电阻率P16H高于随钻电阻率P16H,地层流体为水,电阻率梯度变化点为流体界面。4 471.5 m经过电缆泵抽取样(MDT仪器)(图4),泵抽至45 min时,井下流体实验室光谱分析仪得知,地层泵抽出流体为天然气和泥浆滤液,泵抽至160 min,泵抽压增大至4.13 Mpa,地层出现明显段塞流水信号,证实地层出水,与电阻率延时测井判断一致。
2.2 油基泥浆对录井的影响
研究区建立了水基泥浆环境下气测组分快速识别地层流体图版(图5),图版数据来源于研究区测试资料,并且划分3个区,分别为油区、凝析油气区、气区,根据气测组分计算组分中相对含量C1/C2+和C2+/C1+,再结合录井荧光信息,判断储层流体性质。研究区NBxx-5-1s井是水基泥浆,4 198~4 277 m井段录井无荧光显示(图1,表2),通过气测组分快速识别为气层,该井段经过测试,产气7.3万方/天,天然气为干气,甲烷含量91.61%。

3.1 井筒环境对比
东海地区主要油气层层段以砂泥岩为主,砂泥岩薄互层夹煤层时常发育,钻井过程中泥岩和煤层剥落掉块、泥岩分散造浆易形成钻井卡阻、井径扩大等复杂情况,油基泥浆为油包水体系,滤失低,摩阻低,携岩性强,电稳定性好,具备良好的井筒清洁作用和储层保护能力,能改善钻井环境,缩短钻井周期。油基泥浆推广以来,在东海应用于多口井,表4为研究区油基泥浆3口井与水基泥浆1口井钻井周期对比,油基泥浆钻井周期明显缩短。图7为4口井的井径曲线对比,油基泥浆井壁更清洁,井眼环境更好。

油基泥浆与水基泥浆在井筒环境下均会有滤失性,钻遇渗透性好的储层,不同径向探测深度电阻率呈现出分异现象。水基泥浆环境下,钻遇油气层时,由于地层流体导电性差,泥浆侵入地层后,探测深度深的电阻率一般大于探测浅的电阻率,即电阻率“低侵”现象;油基泥浆环境下,钻遇水层时,由于油基泥浆导电性差,泥浆侵入地层后,探测深度深的电阻率一般小于探测深度浅的电阻率,即电阻率“高侵”现象。对比了研究区2口井的电阻率“低侵”与“高侵”现象(图8),依图所示水基泥浆“低侵”现象明显,该现象普遍应用于渗透层的识别,并非油气水层识别,油基泥浆“高侵”现象能较好识别渗透性水层,结合延时测井,可以有效区分油气层与水层。
东海低孔低渗背景下的油层与气层识别是难点,地层中流体性质变化快,且油层与气层测井特征相似,很难快速识别。水基泥浆环境下,泥浆主要为海水和少量添加剂,组分中无荧光信息,录井过程中荧光信息主要反映地层流体荧光信息,并且气测组分中相对含量能反映地层中轻质与重质分布,利用区域经验图版结合荧光信息能较好识别储层流体性质;油基泥浆环境下,白油为主要组成部分,白油成分中含有少量的芳香烃,具有一定荧光特性,并且油基泥浆不等比吸收岩石破碎气,利用区域经验图版判断储层流体性质受到局限,需要建立油基泥浆环境下的区域经验图版,结合精度更高的三维荧光信息,综合判断储层流体性质[11-16]。
3.3 储层物性评价
油基泥浆钻井能提供状态良好、稳定的井壁环境,测井仪器记录地层信息的准确程度得到保障,像常规测井中的自然伽马、阵列声波、岩性密度等,均能得到品质为优的资料。但是对于测量地层含氢指数信息的仪器,像中子仪器、核磁仪器需要做井场环境校正(含氢校正)。
渗透性地层一般都有泥浆侵入,中子测井探测范围内的流体被认为是侵入带,油基泥浆滤液与地层流体的混合造成含氢量略低于淡水含氢量,通过对比邻井相同层位,水基泥浆环境下中子响应值,现场对油基泥浆下的中子做进场环境校正[7-10]。依据NBxx-7-1井现场测井图(图9),CNC2为油基泥浆校正后的中子,相比原始测量中子CNCF略大,在做储层定量评价计算孔隙度时使用环境校正后的中子曲线,能保证储层物性计算更准确。
核磁测井不受岩石骨架影响,广泛应用于储层评价中,特别是孔隙结构复杂的低孔低渗储层。核磁仪器的径向探测深度为井周5~10 cm,井周极易被泥浆充填,核磁测量的T2谱信息中包含泥浆信息。水基泥浆环境下,泥浆主要成分为水,T2谱的分布基本不受影响,主要反映储层中不同尺寸孔隙分布,大孔隙驰豫时间长,小孔隙驰豫时间短;油基泥浆环境下,泥浆主要成分为油,T2谱受泥浆黏度影响,出现谱峰后移现象,造成大孔隙假象。
NBxx-5-1s井为水基泥浆环境下二维核磁(MReX)测量,该层段为气水分异明显的底水气藏(图10),砂体A为气层,砂体B为含气水层,两段砂体的T2谱谱峰分布相似性较高,地层含气性的改变并未影响T2谱分布,4 212~4 230 m砂体T2谱谱峰分布与岩心物性吻合良好。近井地带水基泥浆驱替地层流体,核磁探测范围为泥浆信息,地层含气性被泥浆信息覆盖。因此,水基泥浆环境下核磁T2谱能反应低孔低渗储层孔隙结构分布。
NBxx-6-2井为油基泥浆环境下二维核磁(MReX)测量,该层段为气、油、水三相分异的油气藏(图11),核磁T2谱谱峰出现明显后移,物性好、大孔隙发育段,T2谱形态宽缓,物性差、小孔隙发育段,T2谱形态窄陡。地层流体性质变换并未影响T2谱分布,但泥浆体系变换引起T2谱谱峰后移,并存在“拖曳”现象。因此,油基泥浆环境下核磁T2谱受泥浆影响较大,T2谱谱峰相对位置关系不能直接反应低孔低渗储层孔隙结构分布,谱峰形态特征能表征孔隙发育情况。
油基泥浆会影响核磁T2谱分布,通过核磁T2谱评价储层的有效孔隙度、总孔隙、束缚水等参数时,需要进行含氢校正,目前Baker公司MReX仪器的含氢校正是针对评价参数的含氢校正,含氢校正后核磁有效孔隙度大于校正前有效孔隙度。
3.4 储层渗透性评价
电缆地层测试是一种测井作业,是目前唯一能进行动态地层测试的作业。东海常用的电缆地层测试仪器包括斯伦贝谢的MDT仪和贝壳休斯的RCI仪,本次研究不讨论公司之间仪器的工作原理和系统差异,仅从测压资料的解释上分析水基泥浆和油基泥浆给电缆地层测试带来的影响。
根据达西定律可知,储层有效渗透率为一定压力降下,地层流体流过探针的流量,压降流度定义为,地层有效渗透率除以黏度[17-20],一般用M表示(式1),压降流度是储层有效渗透率和黏度的综合反映,并且探针刺破泥饼,座封后形成冲洗带封闭环境,冲洗带流体为泥浆滤液和原装地层流体的混合液,因此,压降流度信息与泥浆黏度有密切关系。
$$ M = \frac{K}{\mu } = C\frac{q}{{2{\rm{\pi }}{r_p}*\Delta P}} $$ (1) 式中,M为测压流度,mD/cP;K为有效渗透率,μm2;μ为黏度,cP;q为压降流速,cm3/s;rp为探针半径,cm;Δp为压差Mpa;C为仪器形状系数,不同探针有不同的数值,无量纲。
一般情况下,室温条件下水基泥浆黏度为1 cp,而油基泥浆黏度为2~5 cp,鄢捷年[4]认为,油包水乳化钻井液表观黏度随温度的升高而降低,随压力的增大而增大,但是在井底条件下,表观黏度受到温度的变化大,压力的作用减小。因此推测,水基泥浆和油基泥浆在地层条件下,黏度均存在降低的现象,根据公式1推导,认为油基泥浆条件下测量得到储层流度略低于相同物性储层水基泥浆条件下流度,因此,在低孔低渗储层油基泥浆条件下,分析流度信息时,应客观估算储层的渗流能力,这对储层有效产能估算有指导意义。
图12为东海某凹陷斜坡带选取相近构造6口井的低孔低渗储层(15%>孔隙度≥10%,10 mD>渗透率≥0.1 mD)流度信息与岩心空气渗透率交会图,在低孔低渗储层背景下,油基泥浆条件下相同流度对应的岩心空气渗透率更高。水基泥浆条件下岩心的空气渗透率是流度信息的大约1~2倍关系,油基泥浆条件下岩心的空气渗透率是流度信息的大约3~5倍关系,这都与泥浆体系的黏度有关系,因此,在评估储层的渗透性时,应区分泥浆体系和泥浆黏度信息,为估算储层产能提供有效依据。
4. 结论
(1)油基钻井液具备优良的泥浆性能,保证了井筒环境清洁型,为录井作业和测井作业提供了良好的环境;
(2)油基泥浆环境下利用延时测井能较好的区分油气层与水层,油层与气层区分应建立油基泥浆环境下区域经验图版;
(3)油基泥浆环境下测井资料质量优,但是中子、核磁仪器需要做含氢校正;
(4)油基泥浆环境下,利用测压资料估算储层渗透性,需要明确泥浆体系与泥浆黏度信息。
