Abstract

For the development of gas hydrate as new future energy resources, the drilling was carried out at the five locations where have high potential as gas hydrate bearing sediments in Ulleung basin, offshore Korea in 2007. Well log data were obtained from all wells and core data were procured from 3 wells, UBGH1-04, UBGH1-09 and UBGH1-10. In this study, user-friendly software, "KMU GH Logs 2010", is developed and this software is based on the estimation methods developed in previous study for gas hydrate bearing sediments and the properties estimated from UBGH1-04, UBGH1-09 and UBGH1-10. Petrophysical properties in un-cored wells, UBGH1-01 and UBGH1-14, are also estimated by using well log data. Porosity is estimated by density log and gas hydrate saturation is calculated by sonic log and resistivity log. Sedimentary facies are estimated by applying the linear discriminant analysis using both well log and sedimentary facies data from core analysis. It is confirmed that DITM facies and MSS facies appeared signs of gas hydrate disassociation are able to be distinguished by the method.

미래의 청정 에너지자원인 가스하이드레이트 개발을 위해 국내 부존이 유망한 울릉분지 5개의 지역에 대하여 2007년 시추작업을 수행하여 모든 시추공으로부터 물리검층 자료를 취득하였으며 이중 UBGH1-04, UBGH1-09, UBGH1-10 시추공에서 코어 자료를 취득하였다. 이 연구에서는 기확립한 가스하이드레이트 퇴적층 물성 추정 기법 및 UBGH1-04, UBGH1-09, UBGH1-10 시추공에서의 물성 추정 결과를 바탕으로 사용자 친화적 소프트웨어인 "KMU GH Logs 2010"을 개발하였다. 또한 코어 미회수 시추공인 UBGH1-01 및 UBGH1-14 시추공의 물리검층 자료를 이용하여 가스하이드레이트 퇴적층의 물성을 추정하였다. 밀도 검층 자료를 사용하여 공극률을 추정하였으며, 전기비저항 검층 및 음파 검층을 이용하여 가스하이드레이트포화율을 추정하였다. 물리검층 자료와 코어의 퇴적상 분석 자료를 이용하여 선형 판별 분석 기법을 통해 퇴적상을 추정함으로써 가스하이드레이트 해리의 징후가 나타나는 DITM 및 MSS 퇴적상에 대한 판별이 가능함을 확인하였다.
