SINOPSIS

Studying the pore structure of hydrate sediments is helpful to explore the growth and distribution of hydrates. However, it is difficult for a single fractal model to describe the full-scale pore space of sediments. In this paper hydrate sediments are collected from the South China Sea for routine petrophysical measurements. The fractal dimensions ofhigh-pressure mercury intrusion (HPMI) and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption (LTNA) are calculated and compared. Fractal dimension Db (average 2.0203) of small pores based on HPMI cannot represent the small pore heterogeneity. The large pore fractal dimension Da (average 2.6825) calculated from HPMI and the small pore fractal dimension Dc (average 2.521) calculated from LTNA can characterize the fractal characteristics of the entire pore. Compared with shales and tight sandstones, sediments have the lowest pore heterogeneity. The increase in permeability is only related to the increase in the complexity of the large pores. Due to the dissolution of carbonate, the complexity of macropores is reduced. The increase in the content of illite increases the pore complexity of the entire pore size. It is of great significance to evaluate the pore structure of sediments based on the combined fractal analysis of HPMI and LTNA.
