南祁连盆地木里坳陷油气来源分析:基于DK-9孔岩心样品热模拟实验

南祁连盆地木里坳陷部署的多个天然气水合物钻孔钻遇不同程度的水合物与油气显示伴生现象,指示该地区具有良好的油气勘探前景,有必要对已发现油气显示进行来源分析。由于水合物钻孔深度有限,针对DK-9孔4组油气显示样品,在开展现有烃源岩油源对比基础上,选取中侏罗统、上三叠统各5组代表性低熟烃源岩样品进行热模拟实验,模拟深部烃源岩生、排烃过程,将新生烃类再次与油气显示进行对比,进一步探究油气显示来源。结果显示,油气显示可分为两类(Ⅰ和Ⅱ),第Ⅰ类油气显示遭受生物降解作用,成熟度稍高,第Ⅱ类油气显示成熟度稍低;现有烃源岩主要分为三种类型(Ⅰ—Ⅲ),分别对应深度163.30~207.42 m、 207.42~348.50 m、357.90~586.50 m。结合常规油源对比、热模拟实验与地质条件分析,最终推测第Ⅰ类油气显示主要与第Ⅰ类烃源岩同源;第Ⅱ类油气显示主要与第Ⅱ类烃源岩同源,此外可能还有第Ⅲ类烃源岩或更深层烃源岩的贡献,即其母质来源既与中侏罗统烃源岩有关又与上三叠统烃源岩有关。     

祁连山冻土区天然气水合物分解气碳氢同位素组成特征

开展祁连山冻土区天然气水合物气体同位素研究,是解决其气体成因、来源等科学问题的一个重要手段。本研究采集祁连山南麓多年冻土区水合物科学钻探DK2和DK3孔共8个含水合物的岩芯样品,采用真空顶空法收集样品中水合物的分解气,分别用气相色谱(GC)、气相色谱同位素比值质谱(GC-IRMS)测定其气体成分和同位素组成,测试结果表明:祁连山冻土区天然气水合物样品的气体碳氢同位素变化较大,甲烷、乙烷和丙烷的碳同位素(δ13C)变化范围分别为-52.6‰～-48.1‰、-38.6‰～-30.7‰和-34.7‰～-21.2‰,而二氧化碳的碳同位素(δ13C)最低为-27.9‰,最高为16.7‰;甲烷、乙烷和丙烷的氢同位素(δD)变化范围分别为-285‰～-227‰、-276‰～-236‰和-247‰～-198‰。通过对这些碳氢同位素进行综合研究,包括气体分子组成与同位素的关系分析、甲烷的碳氢同位素之间的关系判断等,结果表明研究区天然气水合物的气体主要来源于热解气,而且是在淡水环境中形成的有机成因气。     

祁连山冻土区天然气水合物及其基本特征

2008年11月5日, 由中国地质科学院矿产资源研究所、勘探技术研究所和青海煤炭地质局105勘探队施工的“祁连山冻土区天然气水合物科学钻探工程”DK-1孔取得重大突破, 成功钻获天然气水合物实物样品。这是我国冻土区首次钻获并检测出的天然气水合物实物样品, 也是世界上第一次在中低纬度高原冻土区发现的天然气水合物, 具有重要的科学、经济和环境意义。目前钻获的天然气水合物均产于冻土层之下, 产出深度133~396 m, 其层位属于中侏罗统江仓组。水合物以薄层状、片状、团块状赋存于粉砂岩、泥岩、油页岩的裂隙中, 或以浸染状赋存于细粉砂岩的孔隙中。祁连山冻土区天然气水合物具有埋深浅、冻土层 薄、气体组分复杂、以煤层气为主等特征, 应是一种新类型水合物。

对青海聚乎更钻探区含天然 气水合物岩心气体组成特征进行研究,有助于弄清钻探区天然气水合物的气体成因及来源,对于区内天然气水合物的勘探开发具有重要的指导意义。对DK8-19、DK10-17、DK11-14、DK12- 13和DK13-11等5个钻孔获得的18个含水合物岩心样品,开展了气体组成和同位素特征及C_l/(C₂+C₃)-δ¹³C_C1、δD_C1-δ¹³C_C1和δ¹³C_C2-δ¹³C_C1等关系图解的综合研究。结果显示：青海聚乎 更钻探区含水合物岩心气体以轻烃为主,具湿气特征,其同位素表现为正碳同位素系列特征。除DK8-19孔浅层岩心烃类气体可能含有少量生物成因气外,钻探区其余各孔所有样品的气源组成均以热解成因气为主,为典型的有机成因烃类气体,且来源于淡水环境下形成的天然气。     

祁连山木里地区侏罗系窑街组烃源岩生烃潜力评价

祁连山木里坳陷侏罗系窑街组煤系泥岩和煤有机质丰度、有机质类型和有机质成熟度分析结果表明, 窑街组煤系泥岩为好的烃源岩, 有机质类型为Ⅱ₁型, 处于成熟阶段, 以生油为主, 生气为辅; 煤为差等烃源岩, 有机质类型为Ⅲ型, 处于成熟阶段, 富氢基质镜质体含量高, 具有一定的生烃潜力。综合其它层位烃源岩分析结果, 认为窑街组煤系泥岩和晚三叠世尕勒得寺组湖相泥岩为祁连山木里地区天然气水合物的主要气源岩。      

不同类型天然气水合物真空分解过程实验研究

在放置于恒温室内的真空装置内,对合成的冰粉-气体水合物(包括甲烷、乙烷、丙烷、正丁烷-氮气、异丁烷、混合气水合物)、冰粉-不同粒度多孔介质甲烷水合物和祁连山冻土区及南海神狐海域天然气水合物进行了分解实验研究,初步探讨了不同气体水合物分解动力学特征和分解规律。实验结果表明,合成的冰粉-气体水合物的分解过程相似,除丙烷水合物和异丁烷水合物外,分解压力基本呈单调增长,均未出现明显的自保护效应;不同粒度多孔介质中甲烷水合物分解过程,压力增长呈现“快→慢→快”的特点,主要原因可能是多孔介质中的水合物尺寸较大,分解时更易产生自保护效应;祁连山冻土区天然气水合物的分解压力曲线与不同粒度多孔介质中甲烷水合物的相似,总体呈现“快→慢→快”的特点,水合物自保护效应明显;南海神狐海域天然气水合物分解气体压力变化虽然总体与祁连山冻土区天然气水合物压力增长过程相似,但同时呈现“阶梯状”增长,这可能与两种不同水合物岩心的岩性和水合物在岩心中的分布模式和赋存状态有关。     

Geochemical Characteristics and Genetic Types of Natural Gas in the Xinchang Gas Field, Sichuan Basin, SW China

The molecular compositions and stable carbon and hydrogen isotopic compositions of natural gas from the Xinchang gas field in the Sichuan Basin were investigated to determine the genetic types. The natural gas is mainly composed of methane (88.99%–98.01%), and the dryness coefficient varies between 0.908 and 0.997. The gas generally displays positive alkane carbon and hydrogen isotopic series. The geochemical characteristics and gas-source correlation indicate that the gases stored in the 5~(th) member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are coal-type gases which are derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. The gases reservoired in the 4~(th) member of the Xujiahe Formation and Jurassic strata in the Xinchang gas field are also coal-type gases that are derived from source rocks in the 3~(rd) and 4~(th) members of the Xujiahe Formation. The gases reservoired in the 2~(nd) member of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation are mainly coal-type gases with small amounts of oil-type gas that is derived from source rocks in the stratum itself. This is accompanied by a small amount of contribution brought by source rocks in the Upper Triassic Ma'antang and Xiaotangzi formations. The gases reservoired in the 4~(th) member of the Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation are oil-type gases and are believed to be derived from the secondary cracking of oil which is most likely to be generated from the Upper Permian source rocks.     

青海聚乎更钻探区天然气水合物拉曼光谱特征

了解天然气水合物的微观结构特征对水合物资源勘探和评价具有重要意义。采用显微激光拉曼光谱技术,对青海聚乎更钻探区内DK8-19、DK11-14 和DK12-13等3个站位共9个天然气水合物岩心样品进行了分析测试,探讨了钻探区天然气水合物的拉曼光谱特征。结果表明,青海聚乎更钻探区天然气水合物广泛分布,垂直方向在126.1~322.2 m范围内不连续分布,不同钻孔、不同埋深水合物样品的拉曼光谱特征基本一致,初步判断为Ⅱ型结构水合物,且为多元气体水合物。水合物客体除甲烷、乙烷、丙烷及丁烷等 烷烃外,普遍含有氮气组分。此外,在DK8-19站位埋深为126.1 m样品中发现水合物相中硫化氢组分的拉曼信号,这说明特定区域内可能存在硫化氢气体且形成了水合物。聚乎更钻探区水合 物样品拉曼光谱特征为冻土区天然气水合物成藏与分布规律研究提供了新的启示。     

青海木里三露天天然气水合物预判气测录井应用研究

气测录井以其可以灵敏、快速监测钻遇不同地层赋存烃类气体信息的优势而成为常规油气和非常规油气资源勘查的一种成熟技术手段。考虑到当钻具研磨赋存有天然气水合物的岩层时势必会导致其分解释放大量烃类气体并被气测录井仪器灵敏有效地监测,首次尝试利用气测录井方法在我国陆域冻土区-青海木里三露天天然气水合物调查区 进行钻探实时预判,建立天然气水合物的野外现场实时预判方法。最后,以DK8-19钻孔为例说明气测录井实时预判方法的应用、存在的问题及建议。实际应用结果表明,单一利用气测录井方法实时预判天然气水合物层段与地质和分析测试综合认识结果的吻合度可达到85.71%,而将上述三种方法结合可进一步提高野外识别天然气水合物的准确度。     

祁连山冻土区含天然气水合物层段岩心热模拟实验研究

以热模拟实验为手段,对祁连山冻土区DK-2和DK-3孔含天然气水合物层段岩心(泥岩、油页岩和煤)热模拟烃类气体的组分、碳同位素组成与天然气水合物进行对比,以探寻这些气源岩与天然气水合物气源之间的可能联系。实验结果显示：低温(300 ℃以下)条件下,产生的气体以非烃CO₂为主,烃类气体含量少,且泥岩产生烃类气体量<油页岩产生烃类气体量<煤产生烃类气体量,表现出不同岩石吸附气体的差异性特征;随着热模拟温度增加,产生的烃类气体量明显增加,至500 ℃时达到最高,相反CO₂产气量变化不大;随热模拟温度增加,泥岩、油页岩、煤所产生烃类气体的碳同位素值呈现先变轻后变重的演化趋势和δ¹³C₁ ＜δ¹³C₂＜δ¹³C₃的正碳同位素序列特征;泥岩在350~400 ℃条件下或油页岩在380~400 ℃条件下所产生的烃类气体在组成和同位素特征上与天然气水合物中烃类气体较为相似,推测天然气水合物气源与深部泥岩或油页岩具有地球化学成生联系,相反煤产生的烃类气体虽然在组成上与天然气水合物中烃类气体较为相近,但两者同位素值相差较远,推测煤与天然气水合物气源关系不大。     

藏北羌塘盆地QK-1井中侏罗统烃源岩地球化学特征

QK-1天然气水合物钻探试验井位于西藏羌塘盆地毕洛错地区,主要钻遇中侏罗统夏里组粉砂质泥岩和布曲组灰岩。其有机质丰度、有机质类型、有机质成熟度等有机地球化学特征表明,南羌塘地区中侏罗统烃源岩的有机质丰度偏低,夏里组泥岩TOC介于0.26%~0.38%之间,达到差-中烃源岩标准,而布曲组灰岩TOC介于0.02%~0.08%之间,仅局部达到差烃源岩标准;两个组的烃源岩有机质类型主要为Ⅱ₂型及Ⅲ型,较利于天然气的生成,其中夏里组的生气能力优于布曲组;该区烃源岩热演化程度较高,Ro为1.31%~1.63%之间,均达到高成熟阶段,而夏里组有可能已进入干气阶段。基于冻土区天然气水合物成藏条件分析,综合考虑夏里组烃源岩及沉积厚度特征,认为中侏罗统夏里组具备良好的天然气水合物勘探前景。     

Evaluation of the oil and gas preservation conditions,source rocks,and hydrocarbon-generating potential of the Qiangtang Basin: New evidence from the scientific drilling project

The Qiangtang Basin of the Tibetan Plateau, located in the eastern Tethys tectonic domain, is the largest new marine petroliferous region for exploration in China. The scientific drilling project consisting primarily of well QK-1 and its supporting shallow boreholes for geological surveys (also referred to as the Project) completed in recent years contributes to a series of new discoveries and insights into the oil and gas preservation conditions and source rock evaluation of the Qiangtang Basin. These findings differ from previous views that the Qiangtang Basin has poor oil and gas preservation conditions and lacks high-quality source rocks. As revealed by well QK-1 and its supporting shallow boreholes in the Project, the Qiangtang Basin hosts two sets of high-quality regional seals, namely an anhydrite layer in the Quemo Co Formation and the gypsum-bearing mudstones in the Xiali Formation. Moreover, the Qiangtang Basin has favorable oil and gas preservation conditions, as verified by the comprehensive study of the sealing capacity of seals, basin structure, tectonic uplift, magmatic activity, and groundwater motion. Furthermore, the shallow boreholes have also revealed that the Qiangtang Basin has high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks in the Upper Triassic Bagong Formation, which are thick and widely distributed according to the geological and geophysical data. In addition, the petroleum geological conditions, such as the type, abundance, and thermal evolution of organic matter, indicate that the Qiangtang Basin has great hydrocarbon-generating potential.©2023 China Geology Editorial Office.     

Source Rocks for the Giant Puguang Gas Field,Sichuan Basin:Implication for Petroleum Exploration in Marine Sequences in South China

Detailed geochemistry studies were conducted to investigate the origin of solid bitumens and hydrocarbon gases in the giant Puguang gas field. Two types of solid bitumens were recognized： low sulfur content, low reflectance （LSLR） solid bitumens in sandstone reservoirs in the Xujiahe Formation and high sulfur content, high reflectance （HSHR） solid bitumens in the carbonate reservoirs in the Lower Triassic Feixianguan and Upper Permian Changxing formations. Solid bitumens in the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation correlate well with extracts from the Upper Triassic to Jurassic nonmarine source rocks in isotopic composition of the saturated and aromatic fractions and biomarker distribution. Solid bitumens in the Feixianguan and Changxing formations are distinctly different from extracts from the Cambrian and Silurian rocks but display reasonable correlation with extracts from the Upper Permian source rocks both in isotopic composition of the saturated and aromatic fractions and in biomarker distribution, suggesting that the Permian especially the Upper Permian Longtan Formation was the main source of solid bitumens in the carbonate reservoirs in the Feixianguan and Changxing formations in the Puguang gas field. Chemical and isotopic composition of natural gases indicates that the majority of hydrocarbon gases originated from sapropelic organic matter and was the products of thermal cracking of accumulated oils. This study indicates that source rock dominated by sapropelic organic matter existed in the Upper Permian and had made major contribution to the giant Puguang gas field, which has important implication for petroleum exploration in marine sequences in South China.     

Petroleum system analysis of the Hammerfest Basin (southwestern Barents Sea): Comparison of basin modelling and geochemical data

Exploration in the Hammerfest Basin, southwestern Barents Sea, has proven several petroleum systems and plays with the presence of multiple source rocks of mainly Jurassic and Triassic age. To date several fields and discoveries have been found and are described to mainly contain gaseous hydrocarbons with the presence, in some cases, of an oil leg.Our 3D Hammerfest Basin model shows that the Jurassic Hekkingen Formation and the Triassic Snadd and Kobbe formations reached high maturity levels (gas window) in the western and the northwestern margin. At the same time, this model reproduces the main hydrocarbon accumulations that have been found in the basin. An analysis of the volumetrics and the proportion of oil and gas contributions to each field and discovery, suggests that the gas contribution stems mainly from Triassic source rocks, while the oil phases contain variable proportions from the Jurassic Hekkingen Formation and Triassic source rocks.Gas isotope and maturity related biomarker ratios confirm the maturity trends derived from the basin modelling results. Light hydrocarbons indicate the influence of secondary processes (biodegradation and long distance migration) in the petroleum from the Goliat field and the Tornerose discovery. Age related biomarker ratios such as the ETR (extended tricyclic terpane ratio) and the C₂₈/C₂₉ steranes ratio did not provide a clear separation when evaluating a contribution from Jurassic vs. Triassic source rocks.     

晚期泥底辟控制作用导致神狐海域SH5钻位未获水合物的分析

海底泥底辟构造与天然气水合物成藏关系密切,泥底辟既能为水合物提供充分的气源物质,同时又能促使地层温度场改变进而影响水合物成藏稳定性。南海北部神狐海域SH5站位虽然BSR明显,但钻探证实不存在天然气水合物。该钻位温度剖面异常高,温度场上移,同时在其下伏地层中发现泥底辟构造和裂隙通道。根据上述事实并结合泥底辟发育各个阶段中的特点,认为泥底辟构造对天然气水合物成藏具有控制作用。泥底辟发育早期和中期阶段,低热导率和低热量有机气体有利于天然气水合物生成;而在晚期阶段,高热量液体上侵稳定带底界,导致水合物分解迁移。SH5站位很可能由于受到处于晚期阶段的泥底辟上侵而未能获取天然气水合物。

青海木里三露天天然气水合物矿藏土壤微量元素地球化学特征

在祁连山冻土区木里天然气水合物矿区进行了微量元素地球化学勘查有效性试验,试验面积150 km2,采样密度2个点/km²。研究表明,土壤Ba、V、Fe 、Ca等元素在水合物矿藏上方呈现顶部异常,而且异常吻合程度较高。微量元素预测天然气水合物具有较高的成功率,调查前钻探的干井(DK-4、DK-5和DK-6)位于背景区,调查前钻探的水合物井(DK-1、DK-2、DK-3、DK-7)和调查后水合物井(DK3-11、DK2-13、DK1-14)位于异常内。试验结果还预测了祁连山天然气水合物两个新的远景区。试验表明,微量元素是祁连山冻土区寻找天然气水合物的有效指示元素,它们与水合物其它化探指标结合冻土条件和地质特征综合解释,可以提高冻土区天然气水合物预测成功率。     

川西南地区下寒武统筇竹寺组页岩热演化史及页岩气成藏意义

页岩热演化史与页岩气的成烃、成藏过程关系极为密切.一方面,页岩热演化过程决定了页岩生烃过程、页岩气类型和生气量;另一方面,页岩有机孔隙的形成与页岩热演化过程密切相关.在前期热史恢复基础上,以锆石（U-Th）/He和沥青反射率R_b等古温标进行标定,模拟了川西南地区代表性钻孔下寒武统筇竹寺组页岩热演化史,探讨了页岩热演化过程与页岩气成烃、成藏的关系.研究结果表明,川西南地区下寒武统筇竹寺组页岩热演化过程和生烃史差异性明显,可以识别出两种模式:加里东期坳陷区,筇竹寺组页岩在加里东期成熟,中?晚二叠世期间快速演化定型,两个生烃高峰期分别出现在志留纪（生油高峰?湿气阶段）、中?晚二叠世（干气阶段）,此后再无明显的生烃活动;加里东期古隆起区,筇竹寺组页岩在加里东期未熟?低熟,晚海西期?燕山期持续增熟,亦存在两期生烃高峰,分别是中?晚二叠世（生油高峰阶段）、晚侏罗世?早白垩世（湿气?干气阶段）,筇竹寺组页岩生烃过程持续到晚白垩世末期.分析表明中?晚二叠世期间筇竹寺组页岩的埋深差异造成了其受峨眉山地幔柱热效应的影响不同,进而决定了加里东期坳陷区与隆起区筇竹寺组页岩热演化过程和生烃史差异,并最终导致了威远?犍为地区筇竹寺组页岩含气性优于盆地外围.综合川西南地区筇竹寺页岩生烃史和孔隙度演化模型,将川西南成藏条件相对优越的威远?犍为地区筇竹寺组页岩气成藏过程分为4个阶段:早古生代时期源?储?盖形成和生物气成藏阶段、中?晚二叠世期间初始成藏阶段、晚侏罗世?早白垩世主成藏阶段和晚白垩世以后调整改造阶段.该成果以页岩热演化过程为切入点解释了川西南威远?犍为地区与盆地外围下寒武统筇竹寺组页岩气成藏差异的原因.      

Gas systems in the Kuche Depression of the Tarim Basin: Source rock distributions, generation kinetics and gas accumulation history

Six petroleum source beds have been developed in the Kuche Depression (also known as “Kuqa Depression”) of the Tarim Basin, including three lacustrine source rocks (Middle and Upper Triassic Kelamayi and Huangshanjie formations, and Middle Jurassic Qiakemake Formation) and three coal measures (Upper Triassic Taliqike Formation, Lower Jurassic Yangxia Formation, and Middle Jurassic Kezilenuer Formation). While type I–II organic matter occurs in the Middle Jurassic Qiakemake Formation (J₂q), other source beds contain dominantly type III organic matter. Gas generation rates and stable carbon isotopic kinetics of methane generation from representative source rocks collected in the Kuche Depression were measured and calculated using an on-line dry and open pyrolysis system. Combined with hydrocarbon generation history modelling, the formation and evolution processes of the Jurassic–Triassic highly efficient gas kitchens were established. High sedimentation rate in the Neogene and the fast deposition of the Kuche Formation within the Pliocene (5 Ma) in particular have led to the rapid increase in Mesozoic source rock maturity, resulting in significant dry gas generation. The extremely high gas generation rates from source kitchens have apparently expedited the formation of highly efficient gas accumulations in the Kuche Depression. Because different Mesozoic source rocks occur in different structural belts, the presence of both lacustrine and coaly gas kitchens during the Cenozoic time can be identified in the Kuche Depression. As shown by the chemical and stable carbon isotope compositions of the discovered gases, the formation of the giant gas pools in the Kela 2, Dina 2, Yaha and Wucan 1 have involved very different geological processes due to the difference in their gas source kitchens.
