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