Technical purpose 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. |
