In exploration for natural gas hydrates, drilling, coring and well logging are the most important access to make deep understanding of the nature of hydrate reservoirs, besides the seismic prospecting methods. Because of the harsh conditions for hydrate stability and the complex of occurrence formations, the drilling and coring generally have a great difficulty and high cost. Therefore, the well logging becomes the priority method. The resistivity and sonic logging method, which were applied as the earliest logging method in the evaluation of hydrate reserviors, have been continuously applied ever since and the evaluation results derived from them have a relative accuracy and reliability. Other logging tools, such as borehole imaging, density, electromagnetic, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. are also used to make integrated interpretation and evaluation for the hydrate reservoirs. Until now the applied porosity and hydrate saturation evaluation models are better suitable to the homogeneous reservoirs. However, they still need to be amended or improved for the anisotropism (e. g., fracture sediment) and shale-rich reservoirs. In addition, the external factors such as drilling fluid washout and invasion will also affect the well logging results. The combination of various well logging methods is an effective way to improve the accuracy of identification and quantification of hydrate reservoirs.
