Soil consolidation acoustic experiment and pore pressure prediction model establishment-taking the Yingqiong Basin as...

To establish a pore pressure prediction model suitable for the Yingqiong Basin in the South China Sea. A new laboratory test method was designed to simulate the core consolidation process, and an acoustic experiment for soil consolidation was carried out to analyze various parameters and establish an abnormal pore pressure prediction model suitable for the target block. First, the cause of abnormally high pressure in the Yingqiong Basin is analyzed and identified, and a simulation experiment of stratum loading and unloading is performed. The soil consolidation, experimental equipment and experimental plan are designed. Several sets of experiments were carried out, the changes in various parameters during the experiment were analyzed and summarized, the pore pressure prediction model suitable for this area was standardized and established, and application verification and evaluation were carried out in some wells in this area. The results show that the prediction model is accurate and applicable, and the pore pressure can be predicted by the soil consolidation experiment method that the prediction accuracy is slightly better than the traditional prediction model. In this study, a feasible soil consolidation acoustic experiment method can be used to establish a rock mechanics experiment and a pore pressure prediction model without strict core rock. The experiments have proved the feasibility of this method and obtained two prediction models, including loading mechanism and unloading mechanism prediction models.
