Time-shifted seismic research plays an important role in monitoring changes in the gas-water interface uplift, the weakening of amplitude attributes, and gas distribution due to mining. When time-shifted seismic research involves non-repeatable data with significant differences between data sets due to variations in seismic data acquisition parameters and seismic geometries, it necessitates consistent processing before time-shifted monitoring comparisons. In this paper, a study of time-shifted seismic monitoring using two non-repetitive data sets based on the ocean bottom cable (OBC) and towed streamer data is presented. First, amplitude, frequency, wavelet, and time difference are processed to achieve consistency for time-shifted comparisons. Secondly, three modes of seismic geometry normalization are compared to optimize the appropriate offset, azimuth, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Finally, after eliminating the fault surface wave, the maximum trough amplitude attribute is extracted for the same position in the two data sets to analyze time-shifted differences under the three modes using the ratio method and difference method. The conclusions show the following: the OBC and towed streamer data can achieve consistency in terms of amplitude, frequency, wavelet, azimuth, SNR, and time difference; the data reconstruction method outperforms other methods in normalizing offset, azimuth, and SNR; and the time-shifted comparison method of the amplitude attribute ratio method proves more effective than the difference method. This study offers a reliable foundation for future time-shifted seismic research with non-repetitive data to monitor changes in subsurface oil and gas. It also provides a methodological basis for carbon capture and storage (CCS) monitoring technology. Full article

This paper evaluates the carbon dioxide sequestration potential in the saline aquifers of the South Qiongdongnan–Yinggehai Basin. By using a hierarchical evaluation method, the assessment is divided into five stages: the basin level, the zone level, the target level, the site level, and the injection level. The study primarily focuses on evaluating the sequestration potential of and identifying favorable zones of saline aquifers at the basin and zone levels. The optimized volumetric method is adopted, based on the integration of multi-source data such as regional geological maps, seismic data, core porosity, and permeability. The results show that the estimated potential of the Yinggehai Basin is 60.6 billion tons at the basin level and 54.6 billion tons at the zone level. Additionally, the estimated potential of the South Qiongdongnan Basin is 261.5 billion tons at the basin level and 234.8 billion tons at the zone level. The suitability evaluation indicates that the Yinggehai Basin is moderately suitable overall, the northern depression of the South Qiongdongnan Basin is suitable, the central uplift is moderately suitable, and the central depression is not suitable. This study provides a scientific foundation for carbon dioxide sequestration in marine basins and introduces novel ideas and methods for future similar research. This is highly significant for subsequent engineering applications and decision-making processes. Full article

Shallow gas reservoirs play a crucial role in the gas hydrate system. However, the factors influencing their distribution and their relationship with the gas hydrate system remain poorly understood. In this study, we utilize three-dimensional seismic data to show the fluid pathways and shallow gas reservoirs within the gas hydrate system in the Qiongdongnan Basin. From the deep to the shallow sections, four types of fluid pathways, including tectonic faults, polygonal faults, gas chimneys, and gas conduits, are accurately identified, indicating the strong spatial interconnection among them. The gas pipes are consistently found above the gas chimneys, which act as concentrated pathways for thermogenic gases from the deep sections to the shallow sections. Importantly, the distribution of the gas chimneys closely corresponds to the distribution of the Bottom Simulating Reflector (BSR) in the gas hydrate system. The distribution of the shallow gas reservoirs is significantly influenced by these fluid pathways, with four reservoirs located above tectonic faults and polygonal faults, while one reservoir is situated above a gas chimney. Furthermore, all four shallow gas reservoirs are situated below the BSR, and their distribution range exhibits minimal to no overlap with the distribution of the BSR. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of shallow gas reservoirs and the gas hydrate system, providing valuable insights for their future commercial development. Full article

The inversion of gas hydrate saturation is a critical procedure in the evaluation of hydrate reservoirs. In this paper, a theoretical model for a borehole acoustic wavefield excited by multipole sources is established for the first time. On this basis, the attenuation of the dipole flexural waves is obtained, and in combination with the results of sensitivity analysis, an approach for inverting natural gas hydrates using the attenuation characteristics of the dipole flexural wave is proposed. The results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrate that the attenuation of the dipole flexural wave is sensitive to gas hydrate saturation. Numerical results derived from synthetic logging data are provided to illustrate the viability of the inversion of gas hydrate saturation. Even when significant noise is introduced into the receiver signal arrays, the inversion method remains stable and accurately assesses gas hydrate saturation. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed approach are substantiated through the processing of numerical simulation data. This work provides a potent processing approach for evaluating reservoir hydrate saturation utilizing acoustic well-logging information. Full article

This article presents an in-depth study of CO2 injection monitoring in the Sleipner Field, focusing on the Utsira Formation. The research leverages advanced time-lapse inversion techniques and 4D seismic data analysis to enhance the accuracy of volume estimations and provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic behavior of the injected CO2 plume. The analysis encompasses cross correlation, time shift, predictability, and other key elements to yield robust insights into the reservoir’s response to CO2 injection. Cross-correlation analysis results of 60% to 100% outside the injection zone and less than 50% within the injection zone reveal a distinct dissimilarity between the injection and non-injection zones, emphasizing phase, time, and frequency content changes due to CO2 injection. Time shifts are meticulously calibrated globally on a trace-by-trace basis, to account for shallow statics and velocity changes, improving the overall alignment of seismic data. Predictability analysis results of 0 to 0.34 within the injection zone and 0.45 to 0.96 at the background further reinforce the findings, highlighting high predictability values in areas untouched by production and markedly lower values within the injection zone. These results provide a measure of the reliability of the seismic data and its ability to reflect the subtle changes occurring in the reservoir. Crucially, the time-lapse inversion process excels in capturing the evolving state of the CO2 plume within the Utsira Formation. The seismic data reveals the migration and expansion of the plume over time and the dynamic nature of the reservoir’s response to CO2 injection. Integrating various data facets reduces non-uniqueness in inversion results, allowing for more precise volume estimations. Full article
