Abstract: The complicated geological conditions of sea basins cause difficulties in natural gas exploration. The resistance and acoustic test of rocks of natural gas accumulation under high temperature and high pressure is essential for natural gas exploration and development. This study introduced a test of resistivity and acoustic properties of core samples that were displaced by various proportions of gas/CO2 mixture at various saturations using an SCMS-E core multi-parameter instrument with various pressures and temperatures and a maximum temperature of 180℃ and a maximum pore pressure of 50 MPa. We also used the instrument to test the change in acoustic velocity of the dry samples that were filled with the gas/CO2 mixture of various proportions. The experimental results showed that the saturation exponent of the saturated samples changed slightly when the content of CO2 in the displacing mixture changed, but the cementation factor remained almost unchanged. The longitudinal acoustic velocity of the dry core samples filled with gas/CO2 mixture decreased with increases in CO2 content. The change in shear acoustic velocity variation was not obvious when the CO2 content changed. The test results were consistent with the analysis results by the Gassmann equation and the Batzle empirical equation.

Key words: high pressure and temperature, acoustic velocity, saturation exponent, cementation factor, Gassmann equation
