Estimation of quartz content (QC) is important for gas hydrate production. However, the existing methods pay more attention to estimate saturations of hydrate or free gas instead of QC. QC is difcult to be estimated because of its limited and unclear infuences on velocities in the hydrate-bearing sediments. A workfow was proposed to estimate QC from core to logging to seismic inversion whose core technologies were an unconsolidated anisotropic model (UAM) and an inverse modeling approach. We used the UAM to construct the quantitative relationships between physical properties including QC and velocity. Then, the velocities of the reservoirs were obtained by logging-constrained seismic inversion. Finally, QC can be scaled by the inverse modeling of the UAM. To build the UAM, we analyzed the physical properties of hydrate reservoirs based on the cores and logging while drilling (LWD) data in the Shenhu area, South China Sea, and characterized unconsolidated sediments with horizontally layered hydrates and gas occurrences. The calculated P-velocities and S-velocities from the UAM agreed with the LWD data when the input variables were QC, porosity, hydrate saturation, and gas saturation. Conversely, for a group of P-velocity and S-velocity from seismic inversion, the corresponding QC can be scaled out as well as the other parameters based on the UAM, which was defned as an inverse modeling. Because the signifcant parameters such as hydrate saturation have been considered as independent variables in the model, we can efectively avoid the correlation between QC and the others. Prediction multiplicity can be reduced. The estimated QC was consistent with the drilling and geological understanding in the feld application, indicating that the method proposed is efective and practical.
