珠江口盆地珠三坳陷层序地层样式分析

珠江口盆地珠三坳陷是一个典型的箕状断陷盆地,其层序地层格架受到主干断裂特别是珠三南断裂的强烈控制。由于珠三南断裂活动的差异性,盆地东部、中部和西部表现为不同的格架样式。并据此划分出坳陷内的3种典型层序样式,分别是缓坡型、断控陡坡型和断阶型层序样式。文昌A凹陷与阳江低凸起过渡的斜坡区和文昌B凹陷与琼海低凸起过渡区为具有坡折的缓坡背景,发育缓坡坡折型层序样式,发育斜坡扇、盆底扇、低位楔。珠三南断裂等主干断裂下降盘发育断控陡坡带层序样式,在珠三南断裂中部地区,发育断阶型层序样式。     

基于沉积层序理论的高精度层序划分方案及其对岩性圈闭的预测——以珠江口盆地恩平凹陷新近系为例

南海北部珠江口盆地恩平凹陷大面积三维地震资料揭示了新近系类型丰富的砂体，在古珠江三角洲演化及相带迁移的控制下形成了较好的岩性圈闭发育条件。近年来，凹陷内发现的多个构造-岩性圈闭均与河道砂体相关。但在已有的层序地层划分方案中，河道砂体的成因、分类和展布特征与体系域的耦合关系差，砂体发育规律不明，制约了岩性圈闭的勘探效果。基于沉积层序理论，利用大范围井震资料，系统厘定了恩平凹陷珠江组一段-韩江组六段的高精度层序地层框架，并在此基础上开展了精细的三维地震沉积学解剖。分析结果显示，目的层发育的大型辫状河道、小型曲流河道和中型曲流河道，分别与低位、海侵和高位等特定体系域具有密切的耦合发育关系，进而建立了层序格架对河道砂体的有效预测模式，系统指明了凹陷不同区域、不同体系域内岩性圈闭的发育潜力及有利区。本文相关认识对其他海相三角洲盆地岩性圈闭勘探具有启示作用。     

油气汇聚体系

油气汇聚体系是一个不同于含油气系统和油气成藏系统的概念,它提出的目的旨在讨论层序格架中油气成藏单元与层序级次之间的关系。油气汇聚体系由储集系统和油气输导系统构成,储集系统可以分为高连通、大容量,中连通、中等容量,低连通、小容量3种类型;油气输导系统分为单一型和综合型两种类型。油气汇聚体系分为大型、中型、小型3种类型,每种类型所对应的储集系统和油气输导系统各不相同。该概念的提出,为研究层序格架中各种规模的油气汇聚体系与层序格架之间的关系提供了理论基础。

可容空间的研究进展

可容空间概念是层序地层学理论体系中的一个重要组成部分。可容空间受到层序地层学理论中的构造沉降、海平面升降、沉积物供给和气候等4大控制要素的影响和控制,其中由不同构造背景所控制的盆地的演化特点对可容空间的性质和变化具有重要意义。在盆地内部可容空间发育具有不均衡性,其分析方法主要有构造沉降曲线和海平面升降曲线叠加法和断层活动计算法等。

闽江凹陷形成演化史

闽江凹陷是东海陆架盆地南部中生界油气运移的长期有利指向区,它的形成演化史对凹陷内油气的运聚与保存具有重要的影响。采用地震剖面分析、平衡剖面分析等方法对其进行分析,结果表明:侏罗纪末期雁荡低凸起和台北低凸起尚未形成,闽江凹陷与东部的基隆凹陷连为一体,整体稳定沉降接受沉积;白垩纪末期的断陷运动导致雁荡低凸起形成,其西部的瓯江凹陷为典型的陆相断陷湖盆,台北低凸起尚未形成规模,闽江凹陷仍与基隆凹陷连为一体,接受滨浅海相沉积。后期构造运动的改造导致闽江凹陷呈现出现今的盆地形态。对于闽江凹陷的油气突破具有重要的指导意义。     

Rift sequence stratigraphy

Conventional sequence stratigraphy has been developed primarily for passive-margin basins. Despite the conceptual advances within the last 30 years, a suitable model for rift basins has not yet been devised. Many authors have attempted to adapt the passive-margin model to all other tectonic settings, including rifts, despite the fundamental differences in terms of the mechanisms controlling the formation and evolution of these sedimentary basins. Passive margins have their stratigraphic framework controlled largely by cyclic sea-level fluctuations superimposed on long-term thermal subsidence. By contrast, rift basins have their accommodation history strongly related to their mechanical subsidence regime, with episodic pulses of extension that create space for sediment accumulation at very fast rates. Stages of rapid mechanical subsidence are typically followed by longer periods of tectonic quiescence, when sediment supply gradually consumes and fills the available accommodation. This cyclicity results in depositional sequences that display overall progradational trends and coarsening-upward vertical stacking patterns. Sequence boundaries are often marked by sharp flooding surfaces related to the transgression of lacustrine or marine systems in response to rapid tectonic subsidence and the consequent ‘instantaneous’ generation of accommodation. As such, a typical rift depositional sequence starts with a flooding surface overlain by a relatively thin transgressive systems tract and a much better developed highstand systems tract. A renewed subsidence pulse leads to the drowning of the previous deposits and the start of a new depositional sequence. The strong asymmetry of the base-level curve resembles the shape of glacio-eustatic cycles, with fast transgressions followed by longer term regressions, although at potentially different temporal scales.     

松辽盆地泉四段扶余油层地层层序新认识

松辽盆地泉四段扶余油层发育浅水湖泊三角洲相和浅水湖泊相，沉积构造环境属于闭塞浅水坳陷湖盆，其层序特征类似于稳定克拉通盆地层序，也类似于缓坡被动大陆边缘型盆地层序，气候是控制陆相坳陷盆地层序形成的主要因素，三级层序内总体应表现为水进体系域-高位体系域构成1个完整的层序，而低位体系域不发育。通过岩心、录井、地震等资料研究分析，认为泉四段扶余油层是1个三级层序，发育水进体系域和顶部薄层强制水退边缘体系域；泉四段与泉三段地层分界是其层序的底界；泉四段顶界地震反射层T2也是层序边界，是泉四段三级层序的顶界。精确识别和建立地层层序格架对石油勘探开发具有重要的指导意义。     

北部湾盆地涠西南凹陷与海中凹陷古近纪沉积关系探讨

涠西南凹陷与海中凹陷相邻,油气勘探成果及石油地质条件认识程度不同。通过对地层原始产状的恢复,讨论了涠西南低凸起对两凹陷古近纪沉积环境的阻隔作用,并对古新世和始新世沉积可容空间原型进行了恢复,认为古新世两凹陷局部连通,始新世和渐新世两凹陷全部连通;3号断层作为两凹陷区划边界的一部分,其活动强度控制了沉积可容空间的分布和容积的大小,始新世3号断层活动强度最大,其形成的沉积可容空间也最大,由于两凹陷沉积连通,因此两凹陷始新统生烃能力可以进行类比分析。

Unreciprocated sedimentation along a mud-dominated continental margin,Gulf of Mexico,U.S.A.: Implications for sequence stratigraphy in muddy settings devoid of depositional sequences

According to widely accepted sequence stratigraphic and fill-and-spill models, sedimentary cyclicity along continental margins is modulated by relative sea-level change, whereas smaller-scale intraslope accommodation is controlled by the filling of pre-existing bathymetric depressions. Although these concepts are presumed to apply to shelf-to-slope settings regardless of grain size, we have tested both hypotheses in the mud-prone lower Pliocene to Holocene of offshore Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico, and reach different conclusions. We determine that over the last ∼3.7 Myr, differential accumulation and accompanying salt tectonism dislocated the fine-grained shelf and slope, prevented the development of sedimentary reciprocity at 10–100 kyr time scales, and inhibited fill-and-spill accumulation. We show that only 3% of “lowstand” mass transport deposits can be correlated to low stands in relative sea level, whereas approximately 30% of the deposits are related to transgressions and high stands; the remaining 67% are poorly constrained. Mass transport deposits also show no clear evidence of up-section increases in bypass. Based on our results, we conclude that the dominant control on stratigraphic architecture in offshore Louisiana was not relative sea-level change or patterns of accommodation, but rather differential deposition and concomitant salt-related subsidence, which controlled the distribution of facies, timing and location of mass transport deposits, and rates of sediment accumulation. Our conclusions highlight the importance of sediment supply and local tectonism, and caution against a priori use of conventional sequence stratigraphic and fill-and-spill models to decipher the stratigraphic evolution of actively-deforming mud-dominated continental margins. We therefore recommend treating stratigraphic models as testable hypotheses, rather than as methods of interpretation, particularly in fine-grained areas devoid of well-developed depositional sequences and in settings lacking intraslope ponded-to-perched accumulations.     

Interaction between trench retreat and Anatolian escape as recorded by neogene basins in the northern Aegean Sea

The evolution of the North Aegean Sea is studied through the development of three deep basins: the North Aegean Trough, the North Skyros Basin and the Ikaria Basin. Bathymetric data, a 2D seismic dataset and the well-investigated stratigraphic records of the onshore deep basins of northern Greece and Western Turkey were used to make structural and seismic stratigraphic interpretations. The study area shows two sharp unconformities that correspond to the Eocene-Oligocene transition and the Miocene-Pliocene shift. These discontinuities were used as marker horizons for a more detailed structural and seismic stratigraphic interpretation resulting in the identification of several seismic units. A general seismic signature chart was established using onshore basin stratigraphy and well data, which was then used to constrain the ages of the different seismic units. The main features observed in the basins are interpreted as: 1) trans-tensional growth patterns in Pliocene and Quaternary sediments that combine NE–SW trending and steeply dipping fault zones that likely correspond to strike-slip corridors and E-W/WNW-ESE trending normal faults, 2) regional erosional truncations of Miocene sediments, likely related to the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), 3) thick delta-turbidite deposits of Neogene age. Only the North Aegean Trough shows evidence of earlier development and polyphase deformation through inversion structures, and additional seismic units. Extension processes in the Aegean region have been driven by the Hellenic slab rollback since the middle Eocene. The widespread development of Neogene basins at the whole Aegean scale attests to a major tectonic change due to an acceleration of the trench retreat in the middle Miocene. The present study shows that the Neogene basins of the North Aegean Sea developed in dextral transtension with the northward migration of the associated NE-SW trending strike-slip faults. At regional scale, this tectonic pattern indicates that the westward escape of Anatolia started to interact with the trench retreat in the middle Miocene, around 10 Myr before the arrival of the North Anatolian Fault in the North Aegean Sea.     

Global and continental-scale glaciations on the Precambrian earth

Earth’s climate during the Proterozoic Eon was marked by major glacial events with evidence for large continental ice sheets on many cratons, and with sedimentological data indicating that glaciers had extended to sea-level. This paper emphasizes the sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic responses to glaciations and evaluates the major driving forces of glaciations during the Precambrian. First- and second-order sequences are recognized related to continental-scale fragmentation and formation of marine rift basins wherein sedimentary rocks indicate glacial influences and pronounced tectonic-climatic linkages. Coarse syn-rift deposits are typically characterized by mass flow diamictites and conglomerates. It is important to undertake sedimentological facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of these syn-rift and capping passive margin sequences, as well as of slope turbidite deposits which formed if enhanced subsidence of the basins was occurring. More generally, latitude and syn-rift tectonic uplift can cause formation of glacial ice and enhance distinctive glacial influences on extensional basin sedimentation, thus supporting a causal relationship between thermal subsidence and the formation of glacier ice on inland areas. During the Precambrian, however, it is suggested that long-lived marine-terminated glaciers also situated at low paleolatitudes, were related to an extensional tectonic setting. In such settings, glacial deposits associated with sedimentary sequences of distinctively different origin, e.g. carbonate and chemically mature siliciclastic sequences, can well be used to detect the prominent sequence boundaries to verify depositional systems tracts. Internal sediment stacking patterns in sequences are indicative of dynamic processes along glaciated continental margins and without always having the need for global synchroneity. In glacially influenced rift basins and continental margins it is important to recognize the sequence boundaries of significant subaerial unconformities and their correlative conformities. A sequence boundary is a chronostratigraphically significant surface always produced as a consequence of a change in relative sea-level. These can then be well related to initiation and decay of glaciations, however on-land glacial deposits in a very few cases are prevented from later erosion. Attenuation of continental crust during rifting and breakup of the continent raises relative sea-level and also many of the shallow intra-cratonic basins subsided below sea-level, in favourable conditions being affected by major continental glaciations.Paleoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic glacial deposits are known in North and South America, South Africa, India, Western Australia and Fennoscandia. Against this background, continental-scale to global glaciations in the Precambrian appear to be possible, however views on the causes and timing of these glaciations, as well as on planetary extent of ice cover are still contradictory. There is a need to continue detailed sedimentological studies of pre-glacial and post-glacial deposits as well as to interpret syn-glacial lithofacies for their inferred transportation and depositional processes. Pre-glacial deposits, especially, should provide a new target to help us understand the processes that initiated these Precambrian glaciations. The sequence stratigraphic approach with understanding of the stacking pattern of depositional systems could prevent oversimplification and use of just single events to explain the complexity of evolution of glacially influenced Precambrian continental margin sediments.

Unique vs. non-unique stratal geometries: Relevance to sequence stratigraphy

The sequence stratigraphic architecture includes a complex array of stratal geometries with different degrees of stratigraphic significance. The ‘non-unique’ variability of the sequence stratigraphic framework (i.e., stratal geometries which are not diagnostic for the definition of systems tracts and bounding surfaces) is irrelevant to the workflow of sequence stratigraphy. What is relevant is the observation of the ‘unique’ stratal geometries that are diagnostic for the definition of units and surfaces of sequence stratigraphy. In downstream-controlled settings, these unique stratal stacking patterns relate to the forced regressive, normal regressive, and transgressive shoreline trajectories. Multiple controls interact during the formation of each type of stacking pattern, including accommodation, sediment supply, and the energy of the sediment-transport agents. This interplay explains the non-unique variability, but does not change the unique criteria that afford a consistent application of sequence stratigraphy. The distinction between unique and non-unique stratal geometries is critical to the sequence stratigraphic methodology. Failure to rationalize the non-unique variability within the context of unique stratal geometries is counterproductive, and obscures the simple workflow of sequence stratigraphy. This is the case with uncalibrated numerical modeling, which may overemphasize non-unique or even unrealistic stratigraphic scenarios. While useful to test the possible controls on stratigraphic architecture, modeling requires validation with real data, and plays no role in the sequence stratigraphic methodology.     

三瞬属性在南黄海第四纪地震地层分析中的应用

浅剖和单道地震是大范围研究新近纪以来沉积特征的主要技术方法,由于地震资料分辨率的限制,往往只能划分大的沉积单元,不能识别亚相、微相等,而地震资料的瞬时属性可以更加精细地刻画地层信息。基于2013年在南黄海陆架获得的单道地震资料,对南黄海中西部海域第四系进行了分析,并利用单道资料的三瞬属性对地层进行地震地层单元划分、沉积环境分析,总结出该区域不同沉积相的三瞬波阻特征。研究结果表明,在测线的Qc2钻孔位置处,根据三瞬属性在海底以下74.64m深度内划分了7个地震地层沉积单元,并划分出多个亚相。它所反映的沉积相与该区已知Qc2钻孔的地层对应度较高。瞬时相位较为清楚的显示地下地层的接触情况,更好地展示了地震层序在空间上的关系,解决了该测线在常规地震剖面上无法清晰、精细识别沉积相的问题。三瞬属性的应用可以在缺少钻井资料时提高在地震资料剖面划分地层、识别接触面的能力,为大陆架科学钻探项目中未知井位选址提供参考。
