| Use advice for data set | The information provided is critical for industrial actors engaging in the exploration and exploitation of gas hydrate fields, particularly in sensitive and potentially environmentally fragile marine environments. Users should account for technological advancements in the field of LWD and adapt the data in accordance with the latest safety and efficiency protocols. This data should also be interpreted while considering the unique geological features of the target site and current regulatory frameworks governing marine drilling activities. Environmental impact assessments should be integrated into the planning phase to ensure sustainable operations. Commercial viability, historical performance, and energy market conditions should be factored in when drawing conclusions from the data set. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This data set pertains to the drilling engineering process for the exploration and in-situ testing of natural gas hydrate occurrences through logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology. The drilling process is designed to avoid damage to the gas hydrate reservoirs, particularly in sensitive drilling operations. The process is applicable within the South China Sea Shenhu area, which has significant volumes of marine sediment-hosted gas hydrates, especially in sand-rich sedimentary deposits that are relatively easier to exploit. This data can inform drilling practices within such geological settings, providing guidance for both exploration and potential extraction phases of natural gas hydrate development. |
