Chilean Margin

In last decades, the Chilean margin has been extensively investigated to better characterize the complex geological setting through the acquisition of geophysical data and, in particular, seismic lines. The analysis of seismic lines allowed identifying the occurrence of gas hydrates and free gas in many places along the margin. Clearly, the gas hydrate reservoir could be a strategic energy reserve for Chile, but, on the other hand, the dissociated of gas hydrate due to climate change could be an issue to face. Moreover, this region is characterized by large and mega-scale earthquakes that may contribute to gas hydrate dissociation and consequent submarine slides triggering. In this context, Chilean margin should be considered a natural laboratory to study the hydrate system evolution.

Abstract. Gas hydrate occurrences along the Chilean margin has been documented, but the processes associated to fluid escapes originated by gas hydrate dissociation yet are unknown. Here, we report morphologies growing related to fluid migration in the continental shelf offshore western Lebu (37 °S) by analysing mainly geochemical features. In this study oxygen and deuterium stable water isotopes in pore water were measured. Knowledge was completed by analysing bathymetric data, biological and sedimentological data. From bathymetric interpretation a positive relief at 127 m below sea level was recognised; it is oriented N55 °E and characterised by five peaks. Moreover, enrichment values for δ18O (from 0.0 to 1.8 ‰) and δD (from 0.0 to 5.6 ‰) were obtained. These are typical values related to hydrate melting during coring and post-sampling. The evident orientation of positive relief could be associated with faults and fractures reported by others authors, in which these structures constitute pathways for fluid migration from deep to shallow zones. Finally, benthic foraminifera observed in the core sample can be associated to seep areas. On the basis of theoretical modelling, we conclude that the positive relief correspond to mud growing processes related to gas hydrates dissociation and represent a key area to investigate fluid migration processes.

Main Influence

This study investigates the effect of mechanisms of paleode formations during the period of fluid inflow into the accumulation sphere of gold concentrations. Such mechanisms are believed to correspond to DC- and NDC- type seismic mechanisms, whose main influence on fluid migration lies on the formation of different, relative to fluid regime parameters, structural and hydrodynamic organizations of the ore-forming system, and fluid flow control within the area of the accumulation of ore concentrations.

The large amounts of natural gas in a dense solid phase stored in the confined environment of porous materials have become a new, potential method for storing and transporting natural gas. However, there is no experimental evidence to accurately determine the phase state of water during nanoscale gas hydrate dissociation. The results on the dissociation behavior of methane hydrates confined in a nanosilica gel and the contained water phase state during hydrate dissociation at temperatures below the ice point and under atmospheric pressure are presented. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) were used to trace the dissociation of confined methane hydrate synthesized from pore water confined inside the nanosilica gel. The characterization of the confined methane hydrate was also analyzed by PXRD. It was found that the confined methane hydrates dissociated into ultra viscous low-density liquid water (LDL) and methane gas. The results showed that the mechanism of confined methane hydrate dissociation at temperatures below the ice point depended on the phase state of water during hydrate dissociation.
