储层超压流体系统的成因机制述评

储层超压流体系统的基本要素包括压力封闭层、超压流体、岩石骨架和输导通道；由于储层超压系统所处环境的差异，其超压强度可以大于、等于和小于环境的超压强度；超压传递、不均衡压实、裂解气的生成和浮力作用是储层超压形成的重要机制；大多数储层超压是油气聚集的结果；超压释放是超压流体系统内部油气成藏的必要条件，研究储层超压流体系统将更直接地揭示超压盆地中油气运移和聚集的过程。     

沉积盆地超压系统演化、液体流动与成藏机理

压实不均衡和生烃，特别是生气作用是可独立产生大规模超压的主要机制。根据超压顶面的几何形态、超压的发育机制、超压系统的内部结构和演化，可将超压系统分为封隔型超压系统和动态超压系统2类。超压流体的排放包含2个层次：从超压泥岩向邻近输导层的初次排放和从超压系统向上覆常压系统或相对低超压系统的二次排放。封隔型超压系统的流体排放主要通过周期性顶部封闭层破裂进行，动态超压系统的流体排放可能主要通过断裂或其它构造薄弱带、超压顶面隆起点和超压系统内构造高点处的水力破裂集中进行。超压盆地油气倾向于在静水压力系统富集，并具有幕式充注特征，但超压系统既可发育商业型油藏，也可形成大型气藏。     

莺歌海盆地超压流体活动与断裂系统的相互关系

莺歌海盆地内超压流体活动十分强烈，主要活动形式有侧向对流型和垂向对流型，将超压流体的演化与区域构造演化结合起来，对断裂与超压流体的成因关系提出了新见解，揭示出断裂对超压流体的输导及超压流体对断裂的开启的相互作用。张裂隙作为超压流体活动的诱导，超压的幕式突破就主要起因于上覆负载层中的断裂、破碎带，发生压力释放；而普遍发生的幕式流体释放又进一步开启垂直裂隙，造成上下地层间的连通，从而作为超压突破的诱因。

广西凌云-凤山"6·28"震群: 岩溶发育区流体触发断层浅层活动机理

2010年6月28日, 广西凌云-凤山地区在特大强降雨活动之后发生密集的浅源低震级地震活动, 造成严重经济损失.该震群活动是否与强降雨有关, 强降雨是否可以触发震群活动, 仍存在争议.基于该地区地震构造背景, 对震群的活动特征、震源机制解及其与断裂构造的关系进行了分析, 并建立了断层内流体孔隙压力触发断层滑动的力学模型.该浅层震群活动的发生时间、震中位置和活动频次均与特大强降雨具有密切的相关性.认为岩溶地区长期干旱和地下水缺乏有利于地壳浅层的应力积累.地表流体很难通过下渗扩散触发断层的完全解锁和深部滑动, 但岩溶裂隙和管道有利于地表流体快速汇聚下渗, 引起断层浅层强度的弱化, 导致断层部分解锁滑动.并在断层附近形成局部应力场异常和离散的封闭性超压流体, 触发密集的浅层低震级震群活动.      

汶川地震假玄武玻璃的特征、成因及其构造意义

富流体的断层泥是浅部地震断层带中的特征岩石。一般认为，地震过程中摩擦热会导致粒间孔隙流体热膨胀增压，形成同震断层弱化(热增压机制),从而抑制摩擦熔融的发生。然而我们研究发现，在2008年汶川大地震(M_W 7.9)中断层浅部发生了摩擦熔融。汶川地震发生一年后，我们在汶川地震断裂带科学钻探项目一号钻孔(WFSD-1)732.6m深处的断层泥中发现了厚度约2mm的假玄武玻璃(凝固的摩擦熔融物)。该假玄武玻璃形成的位置极浅，且产生于非固结的、富流体的断层泥中。从岩心来看，断层面可见镜面构造和同震擦痕。微构造分析显示，该假玄武玻璃主要由石英碎屑和由长石与黏土矿物熔融的非晶质基质组成，基质中发育众多不规则的微裂隙，并可见流动构造。化学成分分析显示，其基质富Ba且被重晶石(BaSO₄)小细脉切割，为同震及震后流体存在的证据。由于假玄武玻璃在流体存在的条件下会快速蚀变，且龙门山地区大地震复发周期为3000～6000年，因而这些完全未被蚀变的新鲜假玄武玻璃可能是最近一次大地震，即2008年汶川大地震的产物。针对钻孔中断层泥进行的高速摩擦试验，证实了在钻孔732...     

地震断层的渗透性

剪切带的流体压力因关系着地震断层的滑动强度以及应力释放过程一直备受重视。断层带的渗透率结构对认识断层带内流体活动状况、断层强度、摩擦稳定性以及同震过程等至关重要。文中介绍了断层带渗透率研究的原理、方法,总结了国内外最新的研究成果。脆性域断层的渗透率表现为核部低、两侧高的典型结构,断层泥通常具有最低的渗透率和强各向异性。在地震周期中,断层带的渗透性表现为突然增强-逐渐降低的过程。胶结、水岩反应及溶解-沉淀是间震期断层愈合的主要方式。热压作用是一种有效的断层弱化机制。当断层泥的渗透率小于10-18 m2量级时,地震会伴随强烈的同震热压效应。     

莺歌海盆地超压体系的成因及与油气的关系

莺歌海盆地独特的地质进程形成多套泥源层,泥源岩的压实与排液不均衡导致盆地内存在大规模的超压体系,大量的生烃及水热增压使盆地内超压进一步加剧。底辟作用将超压传递至浅层,使超压体系的分布在不同深度和不同构造带中的差异均较大。在中央底辟带,由于泥-流体底辟活动极强,突破的地层多,超压顶面埋深很浅;超压的释放不仅仅是孔隙流体的逸散,更重要的是烃源(主要是泥源层)所生成的油和气作为热流体的一部分,伴随热流体向上突破、运移到浅部分异、逸散和聚集形成气藏。

多边形断层系及其研究现状

多边形断层为一类非构造断层,主要分布于深水环境下的细粒沉积物中。它的形成与沉积物的早期压实作用和流体排出作用有关。多边形断层系的识别主要通过时间切片分析和地震剖面解释等手段进行。研究表明,多边形断层系发育一般要经历3个阶段,即超压封存箱的形成、密度反转和多期水力压裂作用。对多边形断层系的研究有助于泥岩压实、油气运移、泥岩中流体活动状态以及对深水砂体分布和几何形态特征的分析等。由于我国还未发现有多边形断层系的存在,希望本文的介绍能为我国开展此类断层研究时有所帮助。     

Arterial faults and their role in mineralizing systems

In quartzo-feldspathic continental crust with moderate-to-high heat flow,seismic activity extends to depths of 10-20 km,bounded by isotherms in the 350-450 C range.Fluid overpressuring above hydrostatic in seismogenic crust,is heterogeneous but tends to develop in the lower seismogenic zone(basal seismogenic zone reservoir=b.s.z.reservoir) where the transition between hydrostatically pressured and overpressured crust is likely an irregular,time-dependent.3-D interface with overpressuring concentrated around active faults and their ductile shear zone roots.The term Arterial Fault is applied to fault structures that root in portions of the crust where pore fluids are overpressured(i.e.at hydrostatic pressure) and serve as feeders for such fluids and their contained solutes into overlying parts of the crust.While arterial flow may occur on any type of fault,it is most likely to be associated with reverse faults in areas of horizontal compression where fluid overpressuring is most easily sustained.Frictional stability and flow permeability of faults are both affected by the state of stress on the fault(shear stress,τ;normal stress,σ_n),the level of pore-fluid pressure,P_f,and episodes of fault slip,allowing for a complex interplay between fault movement and fluid flow.For seismically active faults the time dependence of permeability is critical,leading to fault-valve behaviour whereby overpressures accumulate at depth during interseismic intervals with fluid discharged along enhanced fault-fracture permeability following each rupture event.Patterns of mineralization also suggest that flow along faults is non-uniform,concentrating along tortuous pathways within the fault surface.Equivalent hydrostatic head above ground level for near-lithostatic overpressures at depth(1.65×depth of zone) provides a measure of arterial potential.Settings for arterial faults include fault systems developed in compacting sedimentary basins,faults penetrating zones of active plutonic intrusion that encounter overpressured fluids exsolved from magma,together with those derived from contact metamorphism of fluid-rich wallrocks,and/or from regional devolatilisation accompanying prograde metamorphism.Specially significant are active faults within accretionary prisms rooted into overpressured subduction interfaces,and steep reverse faults activated by high overpressures from b.s.z.reservoirs during compressional inversion.

First results on the LPO-derived seismic properties of iron ores from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero region, southeastern Brazil

The role of hydrothermal fluids in assisting the activity of strike-slip faults is investigated using a range of new geological, geophysical, and geochemical data obtained on the Argentat fault, Massif Central, France. This fault zone, 180-km-long and 6 to 8 km-width, has experienced coeval intense channeling of hydrothermal fluids and brittle deformation during a short time span (300–295 Ma). According to seismic data, the fault core is a 4-km-wide, vertical zone of high fracture density that rooted in the middle crust (~ 13 km) and that involved fluids in its deeper parts (9–13 km depth). If stress analyses in the fault core and strain analyses in the damage zone both support a left-lateral movement along the fault zone, it is inferred that hydrothermal fluids have strongly influenced fault development, and the resulting fault has influenced fluid flow. Fluid pressure made easier fracturing and faulting in zones of competent rocks units and along rheological boundaries. Repeated cycles of increase of fault-fracture permeability then overpressure of hydrothermal fluids at fault extremity favored strong and fast development of the crustal-scale strike-slip fault. The high permeability obtained along the fault zone permitted a decrease of coupling across the weak fault core. Connections between shallower and lower crustal fluids reservoirs precipitate the decrease of fault activity by quartz precipitation and sulfides deposition. The zones of intense hydrothermal alteration at shallows crustal levels and the zones of fluid overpressure at the base of the upper crust both controlled the final geometry of the crustal-scale fault zone.     

Controls on maximum fluid overpressure defining conditions for mesozonal mineralisation

The mesozonal environment for mineralisation (∼10±5 km depth) occurs towards the base of the seismogenic zone in the upper continental crust which, in areas of strong fluid release, acts as a stressed elastic lid containing overpressured hydrothermal fluids derived from metamorphic dehydration at depth. Au–quartz lodes in this environment are hosted by fault–fracture meshes comprising dilatant extensional and extensional-shear fractures interlinked by low-displacement faults. They form in a range of tectonic regimes but are most extensively developed in compressional/transpressional settings. A brittle failure mode plot contrasting compressional and extensional stress regimes demonstrates that: (i) high fluid overpressures are easier to sustain in compressional regimes that also allow the highest amplitude fluid-pressure cycling; (ii) dilatant mesh structures serve as high-permeability conduits only under high fluid-pressure and low differential stress in the absence of through-going cohesionless faults that are well-oriented for reactivation; and, (iii) the critical interdependence of differential stress and sustainable overpressure ensures that changes in stress state are accompanied by fluid redistribution. The specialised circumstances allowing high-flux flow of overpressured fluids are generally short-lived and are terminated by the formation of through-going, favourably oriented faults.     

评述异常压力研究中的石油地质学新思想

在对异常压力的认识不断深化的过程中,凝结出许多新的概念和思想,为现代石油地质学理论注入了新的内容。关于超压生成与有机质成熟-生烃的关系虽有争议,但大多数主张超压对有机质成熟和生烃起抑制作用;在超压的背景下,生烃、排烃以及烃类的运移和聚集常呈现出幕式的特征;压力驱动是流体活动和油气运移的重要动力;动态运移通道是油气运移的新型通道;通常压力过渡带是油气聚集的有利场所;在超压的含油气盆地中,可能发现的非传统油气聚集有异常压力的气饱和封存箱、水力破裂-泥岩裂缝油气藏、烃水倒置的油气藏等。异常压力的储层具有相对独立性。     

Characteristics and Genetic Mechanisms of Overpressure in the Depressions of Bohai Bay Basin, China

The distribution and genetic mechanisms of abnormal pressures in the Bohai Bay Basin were systematically analyzed. Abnormal pressures are widely developed in the Bohai Bay Basin, primarily in the Paleogene E2s4, E2s3, Es1, and Ed formations. From the onshore area of the Bohai Bay Basin to the center of the Bozhong area, the top depth of the overpressured zone in each depression increases gradually, the overpressured strata in each depression gradually move to younger formations, and the pressure structure successively alters from single-bottom- overpressure to double-bottom-overpressure and finally to double-top-overpressure. The distribution of overpressured area is consistent with the sedimentary migration controlled by the tectonic evolution of the Bohai Bay Basin, which is closely related to the hydrocarbon-generation capability of active source rocks. The overpressured strata are consistent with the source-rock intervals in each depression; the top of the overpressured zone is synchronous with the hydrocarbon generation threshold in each depression; the hydrocarbon generation capability is positively correlated with the overpressure magnitude in each formation. Undercompaction was the main mechanism of overpressure for depressions with fluid pressure coefficients less than 1.2, whereas hydrocarbon generation was the main mechanism for depressions with fluid pressure coefficients greater than 1.5.     

异常压力环境下流体活动及其油气运移主通道分析

沉积盆地的油气生成、运移和成藏过程与盆地流体作用密切相关, 而异常压力环境下流体活动有其特殊性, 因而与之相关的油气运移和成藏也有其特殊性.对于异常压力体系(包括高压和低压)而言, 存在2类流体系统, 即半开放型和封闭型流体系统.前者由于封闭层的间歇开启导致流体幕式释放, 后者以封闭层内热对流作用为主.按照封闭层开启的成因机制可划分为3类, 即水力破裂或流体压裂型、断裂型、断-压双控型.封闭层的间歇开启构成异常压力环境下油气运移的主通道.这些流体活动和油气运移在海底以及盆地的浅层和深层显示不同地球物理特征, 如气苗、麻坑、气烟囱和流体底辟带等.同样, 还可以利用岩石中残留的一些标记或异常现象示踪盆地流体活动, 如流体包裹体、地层水化学、有机地球化学异常、成岩作用异常、流体场动态模拟等.这些特征和标志为流体和油气运移主通道的识别, 同时也为异常压力环境下油气勘探提供重要的依据.      

王家岗断阶带含烃流体的成藏效应分析

王家岗断阶带及其附近地区地层和地层流体所表现出的能量场和物质两方面的成藏效应,反映其局部地区的油气运移具有瞬态流体流动的特点.在以断层活动为主、以烃源岩超压为辅的双重控制作用下,来自牛庄洼陷内深部烃源岩的超压含烃热流体沿断阶带内的断层向王家岗地区方向快速充注.能量场上,快速的大规模流体流动既引起了地温场的局部扰动,也将深层的超压能量传递到浅层.物质上,溶解有大量矿物质的深部热流体以混相涌流的方式运移到浅层.流体活动强的断层附近区域水-岩相互作用强烈,地层岩石中的碳酸盐质量分数和黏土矿物组成变化较大.同时在深部流体进入浅层活动活跃的层段内,地层水矿化度高的地段聚集的油气也较多.
